Lets say you are a top distance guy in the country and had great grades? regardless of where your from, where would you go to college?

Stanford. It's in Cali, superb academics especially engineering, which is my interest, and of course a cross country program that competes for a championship almost every year.
id have to agree, stanford really is the tits. princeton is getting pretty damn nasty at running though, and obviously a great school. but then again its jersey and you have to deal with true princetonians. another one i would strongly consider would be southern university at new orleans. great school.
Depends, if I was interested in academics Stanford, UCLA, USC,Duke, the Ivy league schools. If my interest was running and I wanted to pursue running as a career/olympics/WC ect. Probably Colorado, Oregon, Northern Arizona, or any other school where I could get the very best training with the best running environment.

yeah but i heard the dudes on the teams there are kinda weird/doucheey
Depends on if you want an Olympic medal and a world class academic experience. UCLA, USC, Stanford, Berkeley, and Texas have the most Olympic athletes. Shanghai 2011 rankings of the top schools in the world: #2 Stanford, #4 Berkeley, #12 UCLA, #35 Texas, #46 USC.

You should go to a local junior college. You can escape high school with your current grammar skills, but it will be very difficult for you in college.
"Your" is a possessive pronoun. "You're" is a contraction of the words "you" and "are". "Your" sentence should have said "....regardless of where you're from". "You're" in for a rude awakening if you go directly to a four year college.
I would go to ratemyprofessor.com and check out the
quality of the professors at the college in question. The ratings are skewed at times because of vindictive little snots buckets.
Don't confuse a #1 ranked school that is based in its grad programs. The undergrad programs are far from ideal at many of these schools.
For me it would most likely be between Princeton and Stanford with Princeton getting the edge because of a lower chance of earthquakes and it has Hoagie Haven. Hard to go wrong with either school.
Princeton or Stanford.
I would look at Wisconsin, on of the best academically and the best last year for xc.
Otherwise Stanford, Colorado, Texas, Columbia, Princeton, and Oklahoma are all fantastic options.

L.A. has the gold medal culture with 1,000s of medalists. A major portion of NFL players, MLB players, etc. move to L.A. after turning pro to train all year around.
Self promotion, but consider looking into Columbia. We have a great record of runners improving insane amounts. Currently our team is on the rise (check out those Penn Relays results).
Obviously our academics are top notch as well.
Academics are top notch. . .
