Choosing a college is an important decision. And there are more factors to consider than acceptance rate and average SAT scores. Those are certainly important figures, but digging a little deeper will reveal which colleges will provide you with your desired academic and extracurricular opportunities, give you room to grow and truly make you feel at home.
