Well for me, I want to become a doctor and basically attend the school with a renowned scientific research program, so I decided to go to Johns Hopkins University. Also it's not too far from my home (only about 3 hours) and its in Baltimore which was good for me since I wanted a suburban/urban setting.
So you just need to research which schools fit your interest. Is the area liveable? Are the students helpful? And after all of this you should have made a good decision.

Most important is to decide what you WANT to do in life. Once that is determined (not an easy task), then find the schools that have a great reputation in this area. Then research the schools and see if any one (or more) sounds good to you (in your gut). There will be some trade-offs, but only you can rank the schools because your priorities are for you to decide.

Good Luck!

My major was somewhat rare, so it limited the options a bit. I also wanted to be relatively near my parents, to be able to visit if I wanted to. So I ended up going to a college about an hour from my home that was accesible by the local train. I also looked at financial aid to see which one I would be able to pay for easier.

i don't know if your state has the same thing, but in NC we have cfnc.org, and it has a college matching assitant for public & private schools, so i used that to narrow it down to my top 3, and I'm applying to all 3 and probably going to accept the one that offers the most scholarships.
