[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My current senior is very interested in "fit." Some things that rose to the top of her list:

-- Class size
-- Availability of majors, and treatment of her prospective majors. Are you boxed in from the very beginning, can you come in undecided, can you switch later without losing too much time? 
-- Friendliness of the student body. This has been extremely important to her
-- Distance from home
-- Balance of students. She goes to a diverse high school, and [b]some schools have seemed a little too white.[/b] Some schools are way heavier on girls than boys. You can find these stats online, but sometimes, the real picture on campus is a little different.
-- Access to professors, internships, etc. 
-- Fun clubs[/quote]

This is a major problem at some schools.[/quote]
What about that makes it a 'major problem'?[/quote]

Having grown up in very diverse areas, my kid specifically wanted to attend a university that was "more diverse" as well.  Some of us enjoy living surrounded by diversity
