Oh, a big city kind of guy? Well, my small town school will not qualify, but there are many great psych schools all over the U.S.A. (a lot of good ones in Texas). U of TX/Austin; Rice U; Texas A/M; U of Houston; U of Maryland (Baltimore); Boston U; Florida State; Syracuse U; NYU; U of Pittsburgh; Ohio State; U of Cal in Riverside, Irvine or LA; U of So. Cal; Tufts U; U of Michigan Ann Arbor (a great but not huge town & school); U of Minnesota Minneapolis (a great town&school)... a great school in a beautiful area, but, much smaller town is U of North Carolina/Chapel Hill.
Do you have a preference for Hot/Cold Climate.... Outdoor activities? Skiing? Beaches? Lakes? It helps to make a checklist of things you hope to find in a school and its location.
Some schools now have web sites where you can do a virtual tour of the campus, which is nice to help you weed through all the possibilities and narrow it down.
I have 2 friends who went to Uni in Canada, I think one was McGill. Canada supposedly has good, affordable colleges.

College is what you make of it. Just don't go on national rankings because that is mostly a popularity contest, very subjective and usually only accounts for the quality of research and graduate work the university is doing. It says nothing for how good the program is in the undergrad level and how they treat regular undergrad students and how well they support the majority of the student population with resources, value and services.
Go visit colleges and see which one fits you the best. Everyone is different, find a colleges that you will be happy at and you will get the most out of.

My goodness, E, you live in the largest State of the Union! Texas has great colleges and universities, and given your financial situation, you could probably go to a state college for free. Check out the colleges in your local area and find out about scholarships and work grants.
