You may not want to show up for your first lesson with a new horn, only to have your professor say something like, "You know, I have tried lots of those (insert brand here) tubas, and they all sound like I'm powering up my radial-arm saw, rather than producing a good tuba sound."

If you have narrowed your choices for colleges down to a few (one, perhaps), why not call the tuba professor(s) at the school(s) and ask for their recommendations?
Your future tuba professor may also know about good, suitable horns for sale, used, and may have played those horns during lessons.
