Default College or University

First of all, is there a difference between the two??
Currently, I'm frantically searching for one. As it seems, I'll be missing the current cemester, and will start January.
I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions, I asked a few people. Including this Professor that worked with me in that program (trip) I was on. Although her suggestions seem more focused on where she'd like to live. And she put the Illinois ones first, because she wanted me to be close to where she is. Nevermind that, anything decent is okay. I'm gonna study Computer Engineering, and just want a nice university in a nice area with nice weather.

Oh, you can suggest whatever. But if anyone (and I doubt someone will) is willing to bother, it has to be from this list. Because it needs to be one that is acknowledged by the government. Just follow these simple intructions to get to it:-

Go here: www.kuwaitculture.com
1. Click "Students"
2. Click "University Listings"
3. Next to "Universities in the U.S.A" click "By major"
4. Click the letter "E"
5. Click the first "View Speciality" next to Engineering.
6. Check the box next to "Computer Engineering"
7. Finally click "Search" at the bottom.
Boom! List of 128.

Btw, the ones she suggested are (with her notes included):
-Northwestern University (Chicago)
-Univ. of Illinois (Chicago or Champagne)
-Florida International University (in Miami - I LOVE Miami! - great weather)
-George Washington University (in D.C. - good school)
-Johns Hopkins (in Baltimore, MD, near D.C. - also a good school and a cool town)
-University of California - Santa Cruz (good school, cool, earthy town, nice weather, near San Fran)
-University of Michigan - Ann Arbor (Very good school!, very cool town, but COLD winters and nice summers)
-University of Pittsburgh (my alma matre!, nice town, good school, but not nice winters)
-University of Virginia (good school, nice year-round weather, small town feel)
-University of South Carolina (where I went to grad school, great weather, neat town, ok school)
-University of Southern California (good school, nice weather, but L.A is a bit dangerous....)


Any feedback would be great. Also, my friend applied to www.sfsu.edu
I'll apply to four atleast, just to be sure.

Thanks.

Edit: Alot of people are me telling the University of Michigan and Northwestern University (Chicago) are really good....what do you think?
