<p>Dear everyone,</p>
<p>Based on your own research and experience (and not some ranking list), what colleges have the best biology programs?</p>
<p>Thank you so much for your help!</p>
<p>Hey Aria,</p>
<p>I think you'll get more responses if you posted this in the "College Search" forum. I'm eager to see what people have to say as well since this is exactly the question that I'm also interested in. =]</p>
<p>cornell's is amazingggg :P</p>
<p>Princeton's molecular biology program is unrivaled. The University of Miami leads marine biology, if that's what interests you.</p>
<p>Princeton=Caltech=MIT=Wellesley= Harvard=Stanford
(depending on the specialization in Biology research you are interested in).</p>

<p>Oh, ok. Cornell is is amazing.</p>
<p>Most top schools have very good bio programs, as it's a very popular department. You really can't go wrong for bio with any top university/LAC.</p>
<p>Wisconsin. Deep in every major area of bio from ag to zoology.</p>
<p>what about UC Davis?</p>
<p>UIUC recently completed the Institute for Genomic Biology and will offer many interesting research opportunities.</p>
<p>Reed in Portland, OR.</p>
