Bard College (NY) Boston University (MA) Bowdoin College (ME) Bridgewater State College (MA) Brown University (RI) Bryn Mawr College (PA) CUNY: Hunter College (NY) Cornell University (NY) Columbia University (NY) Dickinson College (PA) Hamilton College (NY) Harvard University (MA) Haverford College (PA) Lycoming College (PA) SUNY Potsdam (NY) Tufts University (MA) Wellesley College (MA) Wesleyan University (CT) Yale University (CT) If you are a young woman with outstanding SAT scores, and an interest in a single-sex school, I'd strongly suggest Bryn Mawr. If you have outstanding SAT scores, and are not interested in a single-sex school, I'd suggest you take close looks at Bowdoin, Brown, Columbia, Harvard, Haverford, and Yale. If you don't test well, or if your grades are but average, the schools on this list that are less selective are Bridgewater State, Lycoming, and SUNY Potsdam.

Just like there's a top Party School list, there is a top Stone-Cold Sober list. The lists are determine between how many hours the average student parties to how many hours the student studies. Most of the Stone-Cold schools are private, religious universities and military academies. Before, your friend starts applying like mad to Stone-Cold schools, he needs to do some research on the schools and the college towns (like how BYU is owned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). Don't let the title of "Party School" turn your friend away from great education opportunities. The cities where party schools are located have a lot more to do then to party out of boredom. Also, no one in college is going to put you down in college for refusing to drink nor force you to drink. If someone asks why you refuse to drink, you can always tell the person why ("it's against my religion", "personal reasons", "I just don't feel like drinking"). The top Stone-Cold schools: 1.

A number of Canadian universities have excellent programs, and many excellent programs are in the US. This really will depend on what you want to specialize in. Th e College of William and Mary ,for instance, is a well known school and has a good anthropology department, but only if you're interested in pursuing a course in historical archaeology (American). William and Mary has few courses relating to Egyptology,Classical Archaeology, or other types of archaeology. First , you should decide on the area you want to focus on, then check out schools with those programs. For instance, Brown University has two good departments-- one in Egyptology and one in Archaeology of the Ancient World; Bryn Mawr College had the nation's first department of Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology and is world famous; and the University of Arizona, University of Michigan, and the University of Pennsylvania have anthropology departments that are considered among the the nation's top five or six programs---you can specialize in archaeology at those three schools. The University of Chicago is well known for its Near Eastern programs-many consider the university the best American school for Near Eastern archaeological study. Also, take a look at schools with separate departments of archaeology, as opposed to schools with anthropolgy departments only. Boston University, Bryn Mawr College, and Brown University all have stand alone archaeology departments. Finally, check out the Society for American Archaeology website. There is a list, though old, of the best programs in the US. Many are in the west, as many American archaeologists specialize in Native American archaeology. Hope this helps!
