Not even a question where to go...
How come no one mentioned U of H in Honolullu(sp), going to school in Hawaii would be the bomb. Next best I would say Arizona, ASU or U of A. If you are not going Ivy league and want a more unique or prestigious degree go to school in the UK, Canada or London. Why pay insanely expensive US tuition for a school like LSU, FSU, or some other plain jane university that's like all the rest when you can go out of country, travel, have a blast and live at a higher standard of living with the same amount of money. If you aren't in the top 20 or so schools in the US go to a party U or leave the country and study and live abroad for a year or two.
