<p>I am looking for a college with the best eeb program, and if it was stronger in the ecology part that would be ideal but not necessary. Thanks for any help!</p>
<p>LakeWashington, Zapfino, and I have answered many, MANY threads about this over the years. (For example, see [this</a> thread about zoology and marine biology](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/science-majors/1383799-zoology-marine-biology-majors.html]this”>Zoology & marine biology majors - Science Majors - College Confidential Forums) and/or [this</a> thread about EEB programs](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/science-majors/1273561-eeb-programs.html]this”>EEB Programs - Science Majors - College Confidential Forums).) I highly recommend doing a search of our past responses.</p>

<p>To answer your question more directly, there are many colleges with excellent ecology programs, but many of these colleges - such as the College of the Atlantic, Harvard, and Michigan State - have little in common <em>except</em> strong ecology programs, and therefore some of them will inevitably appeal more to you than others. </p>
<p>You need to figure out what you want in a college - size, location, selectivity, etc. - before we can help you. It is also important to know what you can afford and what your stats (grades, test scores, etc.) are. </p>
<p>If you are new to the college search process, I recommend reading over the very lengthy post I wrote recently about how to find colleges, particularly those with good biology programs:</p>
