I voted for academics because that is the whole reason I'm even going to college--to further my knowledge. Not just book knowlede but experience and LIFE knowledge. But all of the options listed played a key role in my decision to attend (hope,hope,hope!!!) Clark Atlanta University. Campus life and social atmosphere is essential because where is the fun or GROWTH in attending a school that isn't active?? Location because I need to be close enough to get home when needed and far enough to really feel independent. Dormitories/quality of life is a given because this IS a matter of your living conditiond for four years. It isn't tooo important to me because I can sorta adjust to any living situation. Sorta. I put cost last because I don't want to restrict my educational experience because of money. I'm breaking my back as I write this to deal with various scholarships. I want to afford WHATEVER school I choose. The colleges I have applied to vary in price range so I'm aiming to pay for the MOST expensive even if I choose the cheapest. Okay, so there's my rant for the day. Peace&Blessings...... :lol: 8)

Academics come first because ay if I'm paying to get taught i'm going to be on top of that...but other than that tha social life around the campus as long as its good I'll be str8
I don't know where want to go, but ir would have to be academics. If I'm paying for college I better have the best education for my money. I just want to go somewhere in the southeast region where they have a good band that I can play in. Maybe FAMU or something.

First it would have to be academics because I want to go to a school where I will get a good education because the college education is the one that I will have to pay for next Fall(04). Then it would have to be the campus life because I do want to have some fun in college and meet new people.
