Question
Hello my name is Juan and I'm currently a freshman at high school. I've decided i want to be an archeologist it seems so interesting but I don't know a good college for archeology. If you know a good one please tell me and it helps alot if it's in Texas, thank you for your time. (sorry I wrote alot)

Answer
Hi Juan,

The University of North Texas has a good program as does the main campus in Austin.

You have a long way to go however.  So, work hard to get good grades so that it doesn't matter where you go to school and then choose Arizona State.

Also remember, when in college take a useful secondary minor like economics or sociology so that you can find work in the real world if the archaeology doesn't stick with you.
