Here are a few lists of colleges that our club has compiled based on which courses or subjects the schools are known for. At the bottom of this page, you will find a link to longer and more comprehensive lists, but we tried to pick out a couple of well-regarded schools in each category below. As a general piece of information concerning tuition: in-state schools or city-schools can be ten times cheaper than that of private schools!
