Fraternity and sorority life? winning athletic programs? religious activities? Do you want to be near family and friends or venture afar? How far is "far"? Is weather of concern to you? Do you want to stay in the South? Do you want a small or a large college? And many more questions that are raised in the test material later in this guide.
