Hey
I am going to be a Junior in high school, trying to figure out what I possibly want to do with my life before college gets here. I know I want to do something in the science field, and I was wanting to know if anyone knows what colleges/universities have a great science program?

"science" is a very broad area,

Electricial engineer, mechanical engineer, a bio chemical research,
Or a rocket scientist ( got to laugh on the rocket scientist jokes, my neighbor is one, retired from NASA)

But there are 1000's of great colleges, and often you can do the first couple of years a your local JR college also.

You need to whittle down that science field to discover a sub category that fits your interests and academics. In your school there should be a guidance counselor or career counselor - someone with access to college and degreee information, as well as scholarships and grants.

Here is an article that may offer some useful advice - as you will see, there are many choices of degree paths to take and what to do with those degrees.
