Visit their websites and look at the faculty/publications, etc.  It might be a great school, but completely incompatible with your research interests. If its a grad school you're looking at, talk to your present professors about your interests and what they suggest.

Answer 3

I go to Penn State, and I minor in Anthropology.  The ONLY reason I decided to go back to college was to learn about evolution, and I picked Penn State for this reason.  I am VERY happy I did.  I have taken Honors Anthropology classes, as well as Graduate level Anthropology classes at Penn State, and I am VERY impressed by the Department.  The Head of the Department was even featured on the "Colbert Report" to explain her book "Skin".  Overall I think it is important to pick a school that is known for the field you want to study (Penn State is) and ALSO is known as having a good reputation (Penn State does).  Most of all The "college experience" at Penn State is second to NONE.  You can't have a better experience anywhere else.  I highly recommend you apply to Penn State.
