Some of my considerations for college choice for my kid, that I suspect others may also want to think more about or discuss:
status/signaling benefits for the parents (This is probably a major consideration for many parents to push their kids into elite schools. How much do you endorse it?)
sex ratio at the school and its effect on the local “dating culture”
political/ideological indoctrination by professors/peers
workload (having more/less time/energy to pursue one’s own interests)
