<p>Well first, a lot of the top schools on the NRC list for neuro are strong at the undergrad level as well. Examples include MIT, JHU, Duke, Caltech, Washington University in St. Louis, Stanford, Penn, Yale, Harvard. While all are large, private research universities, many of them offer plenty of research opportunities for undergrads and have strong programs at the undergrad level. But here are my suggestions (in no real order):</p>
<p>Harvard, Yale, MIT, Caltech, Stanford, JHU, Wash U. St. Louis, Duke, Penn, Brown, UChicago, Northwestern, Dartmouth, Rice, Vanderbilt</p>
<p>For LACs, I don’t know that much, but I did look at a few. I found Oberlin, Colgate and Amherst to have programs to my liking, and I’ve heard Williams and Weslyan have good programs as well, but I don’t know.</p>
