How about the size of the school? For example, is one a large public university and one a smaller private school? Some people are happier at smaller schools where they get more attention from their professors and more of a family atmosphere.

Have you actually talked to any students from the two schools? I know there are even Internet places where folks can do that.

Location? Does that matter to you? South? North? Big city? Small town?

Quality? Ranking?

Far away from home? Closer to home?

These questions are just general ones that students might want to consider. I don't know the answers to any of these ones in regard to the two schools you have in mind, though. But are these issues that apply to them and matter to you?
