Best college / university astronomy programs?

[karsten]

Hi, I'm quite interested in pursuing some sort of coursework in this field, do any of you have first-hand experience either with schools you've gone to or know of good programs in the US? Also, what would be a good path, it seems there is an astronomy-astrophysics split. I'd be interested in analyzing data from various telescopes and instruments, as I have some computer background. Thanks for any tips and knowledge
