<p>For starters: I know I already posted this, but in the wrong forum. Sorry.</p>
<p>I'm looking for a good college and I'm having trouble finding all these "rankings" in certain fields people always talk about.</p>
<p>Can someone tell me what schools are considered the BEST at math (undergrad), for example? Top...10 or so. Regardless of size, location, acceptance, etc. If possible, maybe the same thing for physics, too.</p>
<p>**Don't let it affect the previous answers, but I'm sort of taken with Cornell University. Be perfectly honest: is the math program there considered one of their strong suits?</p>
<p>You have excellent judgement. Cornell is terrific for physics and math. And, it has a great campus environment.</p>
