<p>Mikemac has good advice - it is better to use this time to figure out exactly what you want in a college rather than choosing colleges without being sure of your criteria. Several people have mentioned good choices for Egyptology and fieldwork in general, but my question is: how sure are you that you like/want to pursue this field? The difference between becoming an administrative secretary and an archeologist is significant, so you might want to do some career exploration before using archeology programs as major criteria in selecting colleges. </p>
<p>How much experience have you had with archeology? If you have not been on a dig yet, that is a good place to start. As my advisor told me: Don't go into archeology until you've tried excavation and are sure you like it. Many people who think they will like archeology end up disliking the actual fieldwork - not only because of the physical labor/heat/insects/etc., but also because discoveries are usually much less impressive than what new workers might expect, involve significant paperwork, and may take years of laboratory processing before they can be interpreted. </p>
<p>You might want to use the next few years, then, to spend some time involved in local archeological projects to see if you like this line of work(again, I recommend the CAA because it is relatively close, potentially free, and digs near some of the most significant archeological sites in the country) and visit local colleges as Mikemac suggests, to see what kind of atmosphere appeals to you.</p>
