The number one thing that must be considered is what does the student want to study. If a school does not offer that area of study then there is no sense in looking there. The second would be the financial aspect of choosing a school. Depending on the budget or the ability of the student to receive scholarships many schools can be eliminated that way. I would say the third most important would be checking the social aspect of the school. A school known as a party school might not be best for some students, however, a school where a student can acquire some strong friends is crucial. If a student does not like his social life at a school it will be difficult for him/her to stay, regardless of the quality of the academics. Finally, you would want to look at the quality of the department the student desires to study in. You may be thinking, "Of coarse a college kid is going to say academics are last," but still believe that if a student goes to a school solely on academics there are many variables that he/she could hate and end up leaving the school.
