As you narrow your college search, make sure you're making decisions for the right reasons. Here's a list of poor reasons for choosing a college.

Choosing a college is an important decision. As you narrow your college search, there are serious questions to ask yourself about financial aid, scholarships, student loans, college tuition costs, college majors, and the quality of academics and social life. Unfortunately, students sometimes use criteria to narrow their college search that are not very important, and choose colleges for the wrong reasons.

Here's a list of criteria some students use to choose a college. These might not be the best criteria. Now, this doesn't mean you shouldn't ask these questions at all. However, don't make your choice solely on these criteria, or you risk making a poor college choice.
