A good trick in finding a good school in astronomy is take a look to see if the school has good engineering/ physics. DO NOT skimp out on physics, because that’s basically what astronomy and cosmology is! Undergrad is for learning physics honestly, the understanding is you can always learn astro/cosmo in grad school but will be lost without a good background.
