Decision Time

Determining where you want to go to school involves a variety of factors. If you're a college-bound student still trying to find the perfect college, let this pro and con chart help you along the way.

The chart is easy to use. First, rate each factor—as it relates to the school you're considering—as positive or negative. Second, add up the columns of pluses and minuses.
