Searching for an Architecture Program (LOST).

I am a junior in High School! I really need answers and help! I am 16 and I am so lost when it comes to college. I do not have any colleges I really like yet. I am looking at them as I am writing this. I just really need help and I need to know where to start. What do I even do to apply for a college, which college is the best for architecture? Please help! Thank you so much!
