<p>The best undergrad education is at small liberal arts colleges, not the big elite universities where intro classes (eg, bio) can have 300 students and be taught by a TA whose 3rd or 4th language is English. The Harvards, Berkeleys are for grad school/professional school. Colleges like Williams, Middlebury, Swarthmore, Kenyon, St. John’s (Annapolis & Santa Fe), Pomona, Bowdoin, etc., have small classes and professors focused on undergrad education.</p>
