Choosing a College...

So this past weekend, I visited Miami in Oxford.  No, not the one by the sunny beach in Florida.  There's a t-shirt there, actually, that says, "Miami was a college when Florida belonged to Spain."  It's rather funny.
Anyway, I fell in love with the college.  It has a great program for education, which works well since I want to be an english teacher.  They gave us a sixty minute informational powerpoint presentation, followed by a ninety minute walking tour.  When I arrived on campus, it was pretty cool, but I was just okay with it.  During the presentation, I learned a lot of things about Miami that made it unique and credible.  This made it appeal in an academic standard.  Then in the ninety minute walking tour, I fell in love with the campus.  I loved the lay out of it, its facilities such as its recreational center and dorm rooms.  It has great academics, and is just an all around great school.
However, I've been told that every college I visit will be this positive.  I'm worried that I might not find the right one for me, but I still have two years to look.  Hopefully I will be able to make an informed decisions, just like most things in life.
