[quote=Anonymous]Real America is a personal and perceived ideation. OP, are you making the college choice or is your DC? Let's assume 17-18 year olds are choosing their colleges. They're criteria is based on their short life experiences. If they want to escape from a small competitive high school, maybe they want a large state uni. If they're POC, diversity is important. And, so on.

My DC only applied to urban schools. He attended public k-12, so he applied to all privates, except one. Others were cut when he dug deeper into his major/minor. This is pretty funny, he cut one school because someone with a high enough title moderated an info session and couldn't pronounce entrepreneurship (3x). He wasn't judging her mispronounciation. He judged the school for falsely hyping up advertising.

He rated student's friendliness from chatting with them in Reddit. He did apply to a Jesuit school, and likely won't commit because in his words, too many vineyard vines finance bros. Weird, because he's making bank in the market. Diversity is important to him, and he's white.

So many other factors at play. Many kids will choose the most prestigious school they get into. Some kids will choose based on how liberal or conservative a school/state is. Some won't go south, others won't go north. Some don't want to deal with rural or urban, shitty food or pressure cookers. A lot of 2021 couldn't visit in person. They applied sight unseen based on their perception of colleges.

No college encompasses everything for any kid. [/quote]
