Im very interested in US history, especially the Revolutionary War. What are some colleges that have good history programs?
Most top liberal arts colleges and research universities also have good history departments. You can find a list of some of those at US News. They do rank graduate departments by their specialties, but be careful: students don’t always get the same treatment at the undergraduate level. Beyond that, it helps to go where you’ll find the primary source material. For Revolutionary War studies, I would definitely check out William and Mary: you’ll have access to all the great resources in Williamsburg and Jamestown. Also look at Boston and Philadelphia-area schools; you may be able to compensate for whatever’s missing in their libraries by doing internships with local historical groups.
