Sure, I'm glad to see your interest in Sustainability. There are a number of universities that are recognized for their strong academic programs and commitment to sustainability in their own infrastructure and policies. Here are a few that stand out:

1. The University of Washington, is well known for its sustainable practices, in addition to its College of the Environment which offers an Environmental Studies program with a sustainability focus.

2. Cornell University has the David R. Atkinson Center for Sustainable Future where you can work and research with faculty involved in sustainability issues. They also offer an undergraduate major in Environment and Sustainability.

3. The University of California, Santa Barbara has the Bren School for Environmental Science and Management. They also provide a plethora of courses and initiatives related to sustainability.

4. Arizona State University stands out due to its School of Sustainability, offering programs at undergraduate, graduate, and even doctoral level. It's one of the first schools in the U.S. to have a dedicated School of Sustainability.

5. Colorado State University is another school that has a strong commitment to sustainability. They offer both undergraduate and graduate programs in the field.

6. The University of Pennsylvania has the Penn Program in Environmental Humanities, where students and faculty engage in interdisciplinary study and focus on sustainability and the environment.

These are just a few examples. It's important that you research each institution thoroughly by visiting their websites and attending virtual or in-person information sessions, to see which one best aligns with your passion and intended career path. Remember that fit is important – not just the school's reputation or ranking, but whether you think the program and campus culture will suit you personally. Good luck with your college search!
