While the educational aspects of a university and its fit for you remain the most important factors in a college decision, you can also keep in mind some of the fun "extras" offered by the school. Here are some of the coolest:
Seton Hall University, South Orange, New Jersey
·Free laptops for all students
All incoming freshmen are given free laptops through the university's Mobile Computing Program. First-year students receive laptops already set up with all the necessary student software. Then, after two years, they receive new, updated laptops designed to carry them through graduation and beyond. According to the Seton Hall University website: "That second laptop is the one you will take with you when you graduate from Seton Hall, providing you with a laptop for that first job after college or for use in graduate school. "
New York University, Manhattan, New York
·Free museum admission
If you're a fan of museums, NYU is the perfect university for you. Not only will you be located in the heart of a city featuring some of the best museums in the world, but the university will provide you with free admission to many of them. These include the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum and the Frick Collection.
Michigan Technological University, Houghton, Michigan
·On-campus ski resort
Michigan Technological University sets itself apart with its on-campus ski resort, Mont Ripley, which is accessible and free for all students. Instead of hitting the campus gym, you'll be able to get your exercise outside on the slopes. The resort includes 24 different tracks, conveniently located near great restaurants, nightclubs and shops.
