The approach is different if you are Stem student & looking to apply into universities. For Example you are Chemistry student or Engineering student studying in US, You will be paying more attention to research facilities, May be research opportunities in some universities have opportunities for undergraduate research so you will be spending more time looking at the resources & laboratories they have. You may spend more time looking at the opportunities at those institutions have internship. Internship is important for all the students Whether he is Stem or Non stem. Within the stem field there is perception that you need to have practical experience. So look at the lab facilities, Opportunities for Research, Opportunities for internship, that might also impact on location if you are looking for the particular type of company, Types of Industry.
