Look at things that affect college experience but are often overlook. For example, cafeteria food, temperature of dorms and classrooms, upkeep of grounds, professionalism, of support staff such as security, cafeteria workers, administrative aides, maintenance.

as my dad said 23 years ago, yale is the past, stanford is the future. he was right. personally, palo alto is a much nicer place to be in than new haven. it sounds stupid but having the sun shine a lot makes you happier. not up on it these days but when i was there stanford poli sci dept. better than yale. school has only gotten richer so i would assume faculty has only gotten better. also went from stanford poli sci to being trader on wall street although do well at either will set you up for the future.
