What do prospective university students look in a university?

Hooch: What do prospective university students look in a university?
We all have alot of colleges to choose from, when we are trying to go back to school and I just want to see what exactly it is that people look for in universities and what do they expect to get from the university they finally choose to attend.

Since people are different, this is quite individual. Some people want a large party school and some want a small school with an intellectual atmosphere. Some even think that a winning sports program is the key to choosing a college.

For many it is ‘fit’. Does this campus feel right to me.

Come up with your own criteria.
Does it have good academics in a range of areas (this will make for intellectual diversity on campus)?
Is it liberal arts or career/pre-professional?
Does it have diversity?
Do I like the students (conservative, liberal, religious, rich, . . . )

Then start looking at colleges.
