Sure, I'd be happy to give some recommendations! First off, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is renowned for having an exceptional computer engineering program. It combines both computer science and electrical engineering disciplines, and provides a variety of research opportunities.

Stanford University also has a strong computer engineering program often considered to be among the best in the world. Located in Silicon Valley, Stanford's proximity to tech giants like Google, Apple, and Facebook can provide unique internship and job opportunities.

The University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) is another top-notch school for this field, known for its groundbreaking research and innovation. It's also close to many major tech companies, offering ample opportunities for internships and employment after graduation.

The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) is another great option. UIUC's Grainger College of Engineering, which includes its Computer Engineering program, is ranked one of the best in the nation.

Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) also has a very solid computer engineering program. CMU's program gives a lot of opportunities for hands-on project work and has strong ties with industry leaders.

Lastly, consider University of Michigan (UMich), which has a strong engineering program overall, including a well-regarded Computer Engineering specialization.

Remember, while rankings and reputation matter, the best school for you will be the one which offers the resources, environment, and opportunities that align most with your personal goals and learning style. All the best with your college search!
