Choose MIT! It's just like England here - the people are rude, the weather's crappy, the politicians are alcoholics. It's great.

Both are systems -- not just one campus. The "original" UC is Berkeley, but now they have campuses all over - UCLA is the biggest and most well endowed (though you'd think the one in Silicone Valley would be ). Likewise, University of Illinois has the main campus (IIRC) in Champaign-Urbana, which is in the middle of the wheat fields, and campuses in Springfield and Chicago .What particular schools are you considering? |

I Owe It All To John D'Oh
|
What IT said, with respect to the University of California. It's a big state, with different campuses in wildly different locations. Some of them are the armpit of the universe; others are stunningly gorgeous. Some are among the best schools in the world; others, put charitably, are not. So it all depends on which one. |

Is this intended to be a party or a real study semester abroad. In California, there's Livermore and in Illinois there's Argonne. If they're involved, there's serious physics being done. You mentioned CERN, MP, and that's certainly cutting edge, but I have no idea how that ties into Paris. Or there's California University of Pennsylvania (no kidding, We also have an Indiana University of Pennsylvania). ![]() Big Al |

Just noticed your link to the affiliated European schools. I'd think about Grenoble. Also, I know a student at Padova (astronomy major) who is possibly about to begin a study-abroad year through Erasmus in Tenerife. She could possibly have some valuable advice. Big Al |

No - not a party, i'll be working there for a year. And Paris does have some quite strong influencial ties in the field of physics, there's the large chemistry and physics industrial research centre in the middle of Paris and the departmentsof all of th euniversities are very much cutting edge. Plus, having the oppurtunity to learn the language would benefit greatly for where i might need it later.But then... am i missing out on a huge oppurtunity, by passing up the chance to study in California for a year with no tuition fees at all? sigh Too many decisions!!! x |

That's quite an offer for two outstanding schools for physics and math, especially Stanford. Then there's Cal Tech. |
