<human>:  I'm trying to decide between two potential colleges. What factors should I consider?
<bot>: Consider the academic programs they offer. Are they the types of programs that match up with the major or interests you have? 2 Consider the financial aid packages they have available. Are there scholarships or other funding sources that can help with the cost of attending each college?3 Consider the location and campus environment. Do you prefer an urban or rural setting and does the school offer amenities you enjoy or find important?4 Consider the student life at each school. Does the college offer extracurricular activities and clubs you are interested in?5 Consider the alumni network from each school
