Back in the days of the dinosaur, I chose Carnegie Mellon for its research reputation, its small size (for a university), its Nobel Prize winners in the field that I wanted to major. My H chose West Point because he wanted to serve his country, he wanted to compete in his sport at a D1 level, he was the 2nd of 5 stairstep kids and didn't want to unduly burden his parents. More recently, our D chose a tiny southern LAC because it has a fantastic alumni network, she really wanted professors teaching her classes instead of large lecture halls and foreign TA's (a major complaint of research U undergrads), it is top in her intended field of study.
And just as a point to the importance of individual "fit" , one of my siblings went to UVM and loved it. A couple of my extended family relatives went to UMass and loved it. More importantly, they were able to find a great job or great PhD program as follow-up. However, my sibs and I would have had a horrible time at ZooMass. For us, it was just too big and too wild.
