Good Colleges for Marine Biology?

<p>What are some good colleges/universities for Marine Biology? Right now, I'm mostly confined to looking in my state (FL) but I'm trying to broaden my scope but I don't know where to begin. I want a good, semi-competitive college that is near the coast and preferably near a research lab or aquarium. Does anyone know any good ones? Just, I've found plenty of colleges that seem to have good marine biology programs, but they are mostly less selective colleges. I've also found plenty of fairly competitive schools that seem to offer a challenging curriculum, but none of those offer my major. Do any even exist that are both? Any help anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Look at West Coast (California, Washington state) schools too.</p>

<p>Bowdoin College may be a possible match for your interests.</p>

<p>Thanks for your posts; they will help me in my decision....but I would rather study in another country...</p>
