College

With acceptances and rejections coming in from colleges, I've started to think about how to pick where to go. Some possible factors (in no real order) include:

• Academic Strength
• Size of school
• Sports
• Club sports
• amount of squirrels on campus
• Climate
• Mascot (really Clemson, you couldn't be more original than TIGERS?)
• Band
• Clubs
• Amount of dining halls that have waffle-makers
• Number of Chipotles on campus
• Study abroad opportunities
• Number of syllables in the name of the school
• Availability of classes in foreign languages such as Urdu or Swahili
• Total number of buildings named after dead people
• Pop-tarts with the school logo on them (They exist)
• Total number of students from the state of Wyoming
•  School Spirit
• Proximity to the Mason-Dixon line (doesn't matter which side)
• Sports team uniform manufacturer
• Stupidity/awesomeness of fight song/chant
• Quality of previously mentioned waffle-makers
• Availability of Progresso Italian Wedding Soup (non-negotiable)
• Student friendliness
• Diversity
• Success of the women's water polo team

I think that about covers it.
