Sure, I'd be happy to give you some insights! There are a number of universities that are recognized for their advanced technology infrastructure. Here's a few that come to mind:

1. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT): It goes without saying that MIT is highly tech-focused. Students at MIT have access to state-of-the-art technology in labs and classrooms, advanced software, and one of the fastest Internet networks in the world.

2. Stanford University: Considered the heart of Silicon Valley, Stanford has a plethora of high-tech facilities available for students. The Huang Engineering Center, for example, boasts numerous touchscreens and digital spaces for brainstorming and sharing concepts.

3. Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech): Known for its top-notch engineering programs, Georgia Tech provides its students with cutting-edge tech facilities. The Clough Undergraduate Learning Commons features smart boards, interactive projectors, and 3D printers.

4. Carnegie Mellon University: It's home to the Gates Center for Computer Science which offers high-performance computing clusters for AI research and other technology-intensive workloads.

5. University of California, San Diego: UCSD’s Qualcomm Institute has a variety of advanced labs, such as the Immersive Visualization Lab that utilizes virtual reality for data visualization and the Sonic Arts R&D laboratory where students can create and experiment with digital sound and music.

6. North Carolina State University: Their James B. Hunt Jr. Library, often called the “library of the future,” has impressive technology-driven concepts like robotic book delivery system and big, visualization spaces.

In general, universities with strong engineering or computer science programs often have high-tech campuses as they have cutting-edge facilities for research and development. Remember, you can also ask about the tech resources available when you're touring campuses or talking to admissions officers. After all, the best fit for you will be a university that not only has the high-tech facilities you're interested in, but also the academic and social environments that will help you thrive.
