Could anyone give some suggestion on selecting schools?

Post by Desmond » Sat Apr 12, 2014 7:08 pm

Hi, I have the following offers now:
1. Stony brook U
2. Ohio State U
3. Michigan state U
4. U of Minnesota
5. U of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
And I'm interested in cosmology and particle physics.
Which one should I choose?
Thanks!

I went to Stony Brook's open house. They have a really large department and I talked to some of the cosmologists and particle people in the yitp. They were nice, and from what I hear the courses there are pretty top-notch. If you're experiemental it's a fantastic place. If you're trying to do theory... well, good luck (but this is really anywhere). Beyond that, I don't know as I'm CMT. I can't say much about the other places because I haven't looked into them.
