Answer
Omar,

It is very difficult to provide such information to a particular person because each person's needs are so different. For colleges in the United States I would recommend that you start with a site like www.collegeboard.com which has a college search engine. You can put in information about your grades and test scores, majors in which you have an interest, etc. and it will give you some colleges that match.

I do not have enough familiarity with colleges in Europe to really comment. You can get a wonderful education in either medicine or science in many colleges around the world.

I hope that helps at least for colleges in the United States.
