Hey there,

It's excellent that you're interested in pursing sciences in college! When considering schools with strong programs in the sciences, you might focus on research opportunities, faculty expertise, unique coursework, and specializations or concentrations offered.

In no particular order, some notable universities with strong science programs include:

1. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) - Known for its engineering and physical sciences programs, MIT has a reputation for pushing the boundaries of scientific knowledge.

2. Stanford University - Stanford's natural and mathematical science programs are highly ranked, and it boasts strong connections to nearby Silicon Valley.

3. University of California, Berkeley - Known for its rigorous science programs, Berkeley also facilitates collaboration with national labs for extensive research opportunities.

4. California Institute of Technology (Caltech) - Known for its programs in natural science and engineering, while keeping class sizes very small.

5. Harvard University - Strong in life sciences and medical fields, and has various interdisciplinary science majors.

Are you leaning more towards life sciences (biology, environmental sciences etc.), physical sciences (chemistry, physics etc.) or mathematical sciences (maths, computer science)? Let me know so I can help you tailor your list further. Also, consider factors such as your preference for large research universities versus smaller liberal arts colleges, geographic preferences, and financial considerations.
