Good school to go for network security

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Hi, iv been doing alot of research but arent really coming up with anything too useful so heres my question:
Im a sophomore in high school and searching for a good college that will help me peruse a career in network security, im not terribly brilliant so MIT probably isn't an option but im no were near average either, heres my "academic" stats:</p>

<p>mostly b+ to as in all of my class's (class's like s.s. i have a near perfect average in)
the only class i really lag behind in is french, im taking 3 years + the new york state regents just because it looks good, then im dropping it.(an occasionly chemistry, but overall im a good science student)
im in a few honors class's and next year ill start with some ap's</p>

<p>as for extra extracurriculars, iev been in wrestling/martial arts for a while now(years), and iev been working full time summers since i was 11, and am a lifeguard during the year.</p>

<p>PREFERABLY a college in the state of newyork, or florida, new jersey is ok too if its close.</p>

<p>also if anyone has the average salary/ and other stats in this profession</p>

<p>i looked r.i.t up and although the academics seem to be thought of very well, it is a bit steep(financial wise) and has very little social life/school spirit.</p>

<p>anyone else know of any schools that are regarded as good schools for the above mentioned, but arent so horrible in price and social life, i live in new york so some place like a suny school(eg: Binghamton, were my sister goes) would be considered real cheap were r.i.t would be pushing it.</p>

<p>what about stony brook university, its right by me and from what i understand its got a very well respected engineering department, so i suppose that would include computer science</p>
