Yes, it's complicated and different for every student and family.  Since I only have the one, and had 529 money we were able to choose the least affordable school.  But the Co-op at Northeastern factored into that.  My daughter had no idea what she wanted to do, but I was fairly confident that Co-ops would help her gain meaningful employment after college.  She's picked a hybrid major now (International Business/International Affairs), and actually had to interview me for it, which was perhaps eye opening for her.  But when she was briefly considering law school, I suggested she transfer.  No point paying $$$ if you need grad/law school after.

I do think surroundings matter to some kids.  Mine lives in the wooded suburbs, can't walk to anything and went to school in a different town. She wanted a more urban environment.  I was the opposite as a kid, wouldn't consider a school in a city.  Unfortunately, as much as I like UConn, the public school options in New England have only one flagship that's in what I'd call a small city/big college town: UVM.  Durham NH was the most disappointing college town I've ever seen.  I've seen a trend of New England kids heading to SEC, ACC and B1G schools, and it makes sense that they would.
