Hi there! It's fantastic that you're interested in psychology. There are quite a few universities with strong psychology programs, so I'll give you a short list of some of the best. Keep in mind that there are many other great programs out there, but these schools consistently rank high for their psychology offerings:

Each institution could have varying focus areas within the field of psychology, so as you research these universities, consider what subfields or specializations are most appealing to you (such as clinical psychology, cognitive psychology, or social psychology). Also, pay close attention to the research and internship opportunities, faculty, and resources available at each university. The more you can align your interests and goals with a program, the better your experience will be.

Good luck with your college search, and I hope this list helps you find the perfect fit for your psychology studies!
