Answer 3

This is a really silly question. There are over 3,800 colleges in the US. What do you expect us to do, list hundreds of different colleges?

Go to the Princeton review and check out their list of the 300 most respected colleges in the USA. Or, go to the US News College Ranking site and see the list of the 100 top national universities. That will give you a feel for what schools are the most respected.

If you go to collegeboard.com you can go through the college search system and find colleges that are a match for you and what you want to do.

THen you can come back and see if you can get some personal comments on some of the schools you are interested in.
