Yeah, Tuck seems amazing (particularly for leadership) but I have it at #5 mostly because of the location. While the mountains of NH are perfect for me (I'm an outdoor freak), it would be harder for my wife to find work during those two years compared to San Francisco, Boston, and Chicago.

yeah I completely understand... it is gorgeous but like you said... finding work would be uber difficult. I don't even know how one would find work up there.
