whats a good computer college to attend

other then MIT

i want computer/networking
not webpage design or programming
 
You don't learn 'networking' at a 4 year school like MIT. Networking is a more of a vocational thing than a University level thing. For example. at a university you might study the theory behind Carrier Sense Multiple Access systems (of which Ethernet is), or you might study system theory and telecommunications networks. Or, you might study the semiconductor mechanisms that make LEDs drive fiber optics.

I'm a CS major at RIT with a gf. I don't have that problem. 😛

dunwoody is pretty much a sausage fest too

although we do have a handful of very hot architecture students (no more than 10 i think)

2 year school also
 
I know at Wisconsin you can get a Computer Engineering BS with an emphasis on networking. I'm sure other schools have similar options.

This is true, *after* you take the 2 years of calculus, differential equations, discrete math, linear algebra, probability theory that are required of engineering programs (ABET). This emphasis is only after you take courses in electronic circuits, after courses in transistors and electomagnetics and control theory. In reality, your 'emphasis' is only going to be 3-5 individual courses specifically tailored to what you are trying to, which is probably just semester of very specific courses - the other 6 or 7 semesters are engineering theory.

something that an average student would get into
4.5 GPA
around a 1200 sat

uhh...

you do know that GPAs top out at 4.0, right? Unless you were at some school that gives 4.5 for honors classes... and then I would think that your 1200 SAT is a typo because everyone in those honors classes with me scored at least 1350.

Plenty of schools use a 4.5 or 5.0 gpa system. It's not the norm, but it isn't uncommon.
