I'm basically making this list for myself but feel free to follow it as well.
1. Distance from home: For those who can't wait to be free of the 'rents, the more km (or miles for the Americans) the better. Three hours is a good starting point, too far to come home every weekend but still within the driving range.
2. The Town: Even though we all know staying in all night and dutifully studying is what every responsible adult should be doing but that is hardly the case. A university needs to be in a town where there is plenty to do and more importantly; eat. Tumbleweed town will not sufice for those late night Big Mac cravings.
3. Bathrooms: A mon avis the most important decision one will ever make is choosing a school with single dorm wasrooms. I kid you not, privacy is a virtue and I'm not one to spend four years of my life wearing a bathingsuit in the shower to avoid awkward moments. Apply early and pick a dorm where one can actually lock the bathroom door.
4. Distance to Meal Hall: Again with the food? There are pros and cons to being a certain distance from meal hall. Close: less time spent actually getting there, which means more time for eating! Far: Canadian winters will not be kind to you but on the plus side, one can walk off their Freshman 15.
5. Classes: Oh right, the most important part. Pick a school with lots of options within ones prefered field of study.
