UNC has City & Regional Planning – but I think it’s mainly graduate school? You should check and see if there’s undergraduate degree as well. They do some pretty cool spatial geography and have a very big population research center – both of which might relate to your interests.

Human Ecology at Cornell might also be of interest – it’s a pretty interesting school with cross disciplinary focus.

Finally, look at Univ. of Cincinnati’s DAP (Design, Architecture & Planning) program – might be too technical but worth checking out just for a different flavor. My nephew finished industrial design in that school a couple years ago and had amazing opportunities to study and work in Chicago, New England and Berlin. And he was very employable after graduating – landed a great job in Boston immediately.

You will need a graduate degree eventually in this field, but you probably already knew that.

Congrats on all your hard work and success in high school!
