Answer 3

It often depends on what you plan to major in. So, for example, if you're going for liberal arts, I'd say Harvard (LOL), Princeton, Yale, Dartmouth, Amherst College, Oxford, Williams... However, if you were going for a technical field, I'd likely say MIT, Cal Poly, Carnegie Mellon, U Illinois, teh Cooper Union, Rensselaer Polytechnic, Indian Institute of Tech, Georgia Tech. If it were performing arts, it would be NYU... Fine art, maybe RISD... Music, probably Julliard... So it depends on what you plan to study.

There are rankings lists, which can be helpful. The linked one is my favourite.

Answer 4

It depends on what major you want. Each school is generally known for having certain majors. For example: Indiana University is known for Business and Medicine. If you want either of those two, then look for Business rankings or Medicine rankings.

Use http://www.princetonreview.com/ for many different rankings (even rankings like how good the food is and how pretty the campus is).

If you want to stick more to the business side then use this: http://www.entrepreneur.com/topcolleges/undergrad/index.html

Answer 5

Any institution of higher education which entices pupils to stimulate their cerebral vortexes in such a way as to advance and expand the current knowledge circumscribed within his or her own mind and which furthermore permits the human imagination to pursue whatsoever machinations it chooses is a good enough college for me.
