Question about college and intellectual property

I will be applying for college soon, and I want to know: what is the general stance of colleges on student-created work?

I've already done much research on this. It seems to me that many universities take ownership of inventions students produce on their premises, while generally allowing students to keep the copyright on things that you'd copyright (paintings, videos, etc).

I definitely plan on creating things in college, and I want to own those things, even when I'm using "school resources" to create them. I don't plan on being employed by the college while I'm there.

My real question is this: what should I look for in order to figure out a college's stance on this sort of thing? What should I search for to get their actual, legal policy on such an issue? There don't seem to be any websites that let you search for colleges based on this.
