Harden College is contemplating opening a European campus where students from the main campus could go to take courses for 1 of the 4 college years.

At the moment, it is considering five countries: The Netherlands, Great Britain, Italy, Belgium, and Greece. The college wishes to consider eight factors in its decision. The first two factors are given weights of 0.2, while the rest are assigned weights of 0.1.

The following table illustrates its assessment of each factor for each country (5 is best).
