There are a number of good ones, Texas A&M is a good one, U of T at Austin is good.  I have a very high opinion og Colorado School of Mines, I think they have turned out some top notch kids.

There are a lot of good schools in NC. \n\nEast Carolina in Greenville \nAppalachian State in Boone (in mountain area.)\nUNC-Pembroke (small school but great programs, got my B.S here)\nUNC-Wilmington\nJohnson C Smith in Charlotte\nUNC-Greensboro\nA&T\n\nI'm not to fond of the campuses at Central and Fayetteville State.  I'm not sure about Central's programs though.\nFayetteville State is were I started on my masters and I did not like it.  They lost alot of paper work and made incorrect charges.\n\nThen they are always the larger campuses, like UNC, NC State, and Duke like everyone mentioned.

I've a lot of friends at Uvic, its a great place to meet decent people and learn from great teachers.. but, I would recommend other places like UBC, McGill, Queens, and UT over Uvic. But it's still very amazing there... any more questions, email me

Around the princeton area is really good. Also, most schools right around the city are all great.

There are many wonderful schools in GA. I have attended, or have family that have attended, a few. I got my A.S. from Gordon College in Barnesville, GA. It is one of the top two-year schools in the state. I got my B.S. in Chemistry from the University of West Georgia in Carrollton, GA. It is a small (a little over 10K students) four-year school with an excellent reputation. The campus is nice, and tuition is pretty reasonable. I have family members who have attended Young Harris (2 year school) and Piedmont (both private, so expensive, but good schools). I have family members who have attended North Georgia College in Dahlonega (military), Clayton State in Clayton County (Jonesboro??). Both of those schools have good reputations, and my family members were satisfied with the quality of their education. Of course, there are the BIG schools, UGA in Athens and GA Tech in Atlanta. Georgia Southern also has a good reputation. Two small schools that also have excellent reputations are Shorter College and Berry College. Berry is in Rome, and I think Shorter is also located near Rome (I'm not sure.) Hope this helps some. Good luck. Georgia is a fine place to live and to attend school. :-)

Davis and Elkins in WV, and Jefferson College of Health Sciences in Roanoke,VA.\n\nBut those are just two I know off the top of my head.

I was born in Baltimore and lived there through Senior year of HS.  It's always been in my heart!  I live near DC now and find that people are a lot nicer in Baltimore.  I dunno...maybe I'm biased.  But it's known as Charm City for a reason.  Steeped in its blue collar roots as a shipping hub, the people who live there work hard, care for their neighbors, and generally enjoy each others' company.  From what I can see, most Baltimoreons dislike the brashness and arrogance they perceive as a common trait among their other east coast port town cousins.  And there are some rough neighborhoods in the city, but you can negotiate through most of the city without any problems.\n\nI saw a reply that said it was boring???  You just have to know where to go.  Orioles or Ravens games are always fun.  Hit Federal Hill, Fells Point, or Canton for bars/nightlife.  There are a ton of places to go if you are into history/museums.  You can check out The National Aquarium which just opened an Australian outback exhibit or the Cloisters art gallery.  Go to Ft. McHenry where the Star Spangled Banner was written or check out the Edgar Allen Poe or Babe Ruth Museums for some info on the local born celebrities.  One of my favorite places to go is Lexington Market.  It's a few blocks from Camden Yards and is an open air style market situated in a giant warehouse.  Each vendor has their own little stall where they can sell produce, food, candies, etc.  My parents used to take me there as a baby.  If you want to get out of town for something different, it's simple to take day trips to Ocean City, Annapolis, DC, Shenandoah, etc.\n\nCheck out wikipedia for more info on the history of the city and I hope this helped you out.

depends on what part of maryland you're from. but venture into d.c. if you really want to meet some folks.  or better yet, go to a small church!!!  people are always willing to talk to a newcomer at a small congregation.  but d.c. has an exciting nightlife in adams morgan every night.

Virginia is mainly a Basketball school. If bent on staying in Virginia, go to V-Tech. The Hokies have one of the best teams in the ACC.\n#1denverfan

I would strongly consider JMU (James Madison University), were I you.  Really quite a decent school and a place really known for turning out (good) teachers.\n\nAnother poster mentioned Virginia.  Its a wonderful school, don't get me wrong, but the structure of their education program is a bit odd.  Students take a regular academic major, generally from Arts & Sciences, and take education courses that lead ultimately to an undergrad degree and Master of Teaching.  Thus, a student graduates in 5 years with a bachelor's and a master's degree.  Its a great system if you want to teach high school: UVa trained history teachers actually know history, chemistry teachers chemistry, and so on.  It doesn't seem to lend itself so naturally to younger kids, or so it seems to me.  \n\nThese things being said, good luck!

In Virginia, I think University of Virginia, James Madison University and Longwood University have the highest accredibility.\n\nI'll be attending Longwood soon enough.

The senior colleges are CCNY, Brooklyn, Queens, and CSI.  Budget-wise, they are fairly similar (not that any of them would admit that).  Appearance, CSI has the nicest campus, followed by Brooklyn.  Quality of staff, I feel they are pretty much equal overall, although of course each campus will have its strong or weak departments.  You don't indicate which areas are of interest to you.

Whether of not a university is "good" depends on what you are looking for in a school. However, some of the better known universities in Philadelphia are the following:\n\nTemple \nwww.temple.edu/\n\nVillanova\nwww.villanova.edu/ \n\nSt. Joseph\nwww.sju.edu/\n\nDrexel\nwww.drexel.edu/\n\nGood luck!

Depends on what you want to major in, what kind of career you want, and what size school you want to go to. Most of the earlier suggestions were for larger state schools. If this is what you want, great. But there are lots of fine small colleges that will give you a very different educational experience. Small classes, exciting residence life, and great interaction with real professors. Consider:\n\nPomona College\nHarvey Mudd (if you are interested in engineering or technology)\nClaremont McKenna College

I don't know anything about Norwich but I do know that it all depends on how big the college is.  I go to a small religious school and I know that it reminds me of high school.  The teachers are great because they don't have 100 students to take care of so they can spend more time with you.  If you're looking for something a little more privet where only a small group of people knows you then you should probably go to a bigger school.
