    Thanks for sharing this list! There is enough pressure out there (for both parents and kids) to find the right type of education and help set a solid foundation for life that searching for them can be a pain. This list helps us with a road-map to begin our research.

      To Dick,
      I am glad this list is helpful. I think that casting a wide net when applying to colleges is a good idea and luckily there are lots of great colleges out there in the United States but also internationally!
