Criteria For A College Analysis

College is one of the most important decisions in anyone's life and there are just too many factors to consider while trying to find a college that best fits you. For this compare and contrast essay I have decided to break each of my six colleges down into six criteria These criteria will help me decide which college would be the best fit for me. The colleges I have chosen are as follows: The University of South Carolina (USC), The University of Clemson, The University of Alabama, The University of Baylor, The University of Duke, and The University of Southern California (USCa).

Although the other schools: The University of South Carolina, The University of Clemson, and The University of Alabama do not have exceptional occupational therapy programs they still have pretty good post-graduate medical schools that are much cheaper than the three private schools I have researched. So in the end, I am going to have to weigh whether or not it is important to go to a college with a great occupational therapy program or got to a cheaper
