Most of the good colleges are in the south. Duke, UNC, Vanderbilt, UVA, VT, Texas A&M, Alabama, Florida State, University of Florida, Ole' Miss, Auburn, Clemson, Georgia, Georgia Tech.
There are several schools in the northeast that are just as good as those schools.

All the football magic happens in the SEC, I forgot to mention LSU. I'm a fan of the ACC teams, I keep my eye on Clemson, Virginia Tech, and Florida State.
Long Island has some of the best performing school districts in the nation as well as some of the highest levels of affluence but there is only one remotely good university on Long Island [Stony Brook Univ].
The next tier down is HofstraU and AdelphiU but they charge you up the butt and they're tuition is around $35k if they didn't already hit $40k and they are not selective at all. The only times it makes sense to drop that kind of money on a school is if it's a highly-ranked school or if your parents are filthy rich and you don't wanna go away to school. These schools are "ok" AT BEST.
Then you have Farmingdale State College which is also "ok". Sadly, they don't offer graduate degrees which would really be helpful since they're right over near Melville where a lot of people work.
Everything else on LI is not that reputable at all.. by any stretch of the imagination.. though some may have a couple of programs that are alright. It's annoying b/c for somebody considering graduate schools, the only choice is an online school or an overpriced mediocre school. No offense to any students&alumni of these schools but lets just be honest with ourselves.
Surprisingly Nassau CC is a very high-rated community college.
