Ok, I'll give it a crack:
big universities:
Indiana and Michigan
Small Universities:
Northwestern, Rochester (Eastman),Rice, CCM
Tiny colleges:
Oberlin, DePaul
Conservatories:
Juilliard, Curtis, Cleveland Institute, New England
Non-US: Royal Notherthern Academy, Bobo's schools.
I'm sure I've bothered someone with what I left in or out. I've applied for and investigated college 3 times, and these are the ones I'd put at the top of the list. There are other fantastic programs which have produced great players.
out on a limb:
best places for tuba: Juilliard, Indiana, Michigan, w/Bobo
Euph:North Texas, Michigan, Royal Northern college
for perspective: I've attended James Madison, Michigan and Indiana. I've never attended a conservatory, so I really don't have an authoratative view on them.
Also, I think it's implied that these are opinions, don't you?
Good luck, work hard.
