I want to go to a really good theatre school, because I know that if I want to make it in the theatre world, I need to go to a really good school. And I want to take drama, not musical theatre.

I should also mention that I live in Canada, but am not opposed to going to schools in other countries.
Yale is extremely well known for its Drama program. The famous Drama School is for grad students and offers programs not only in acting, but also in playwrighting and other subjects.
There is an undergraduate major at Yale. When I was a student, it was called “Theater Studies.” I’m not certain whether that name is still used, but you can check.
And, of course, the Julliard School in New York is a major center of arts and performing studies.
Syracuse
BU
NYU
CMU
Tons of others…
University of Michigan has a great department.
I know that UC Irvine has great new theatres and a great dance and musical theatre program. UCLA also has many different size and shape theatres that give you lots of show type opportunities playing different roles in different spaces.
