Is there a consolidated list somewhere? I've only found this thread so far, but it hasn't been updated since 2003.

Thanks!
Which colleges interest you? Are you looking at a specific geographic location? Course of study?

My unsolicited advice would be to seek out a college/university with 1. a well-developed coop/internship program and 2. a well-developed study abroad program. #1 is almost mandatory; #2 gives you amazing life experiences that can't be duplicated any other way.
College is the time to take chances, expand your boundaries, realize who you are. FRC mentoring is a noble thing to do, and certainly inspires passion, but the next 4-6 years are perhaps the only time of your life that is completely about you. It's up to you to determine what that means.
