This list has such a wide range of schools (with regards to location, tier, research emphasis, etc.)... What exactly are YOU looking for in a school?

ie. Do you want to be in a big city? Do you want to do research? Is COA an important factor? Any geographical factors (east coast, west coast, midwest, etc.)? Curriculum (PBL vs. traditional)?
