<p>For anything else I would say Columbia but Cornell is especially reknowned for its sciences.</p>
<p>here's a nice way for u to decide...
take a coin who's both ends are Heads.
Now flip the coin shouting,"Heads" at 100Decibals (not less or this won't work)
Then if u get Heads->Cornell
If u get Tails->Dartmouth</p>
<p>PS: Please don't take any of my opinions seriously...i have pulled off 2 all nighters in a row...one waiting for my PIN to enter the classof2010 site and the other because i'm busy finishing a a carton of fanta. I am highly sleep-deprived and at the moment think crows are beautiful and chocolates taste like frog spawn.</p>
<p>Becareful in majoring physics: my bro was a physics major in Cornell but there was basically no jobs unless he wanted to be a professor... (which was a no)</p>
<p>He changed his major to mechanical engineering and he hates it.. (he couldn't change colleges all together to something computer related.. he would have to go one more year) and the grades are really hard to get, apprantly. but if that's waht you really want to do, i guess, go for it</p>

ithaca is an ideal college town. if you end up choosing cornell, you'll have the rest of your life to enjoy city living. also, the undergraduate education in any technical fields (sciences + engineering) is much better at cornell. i say this not as a high schooler who bases his opinions on USNWR, but as someone with intimate knowledge of both schools.</p>

<p>that's not true at all. every physics major i know either has a job or is in grad school.</p>

<p>my school's over (school finishes in March here in India) and i have nothing better to do than solve Calculus with Maple Labs... :( ...so i use the internet :D</p>
<p>Thanx guys. No worries uyulove, I intend on becoming a professor. But I am also seriously interested in Engineering(physics related) too. So i was looking at the dual program, and I know that Cornell's engineering school is awesome.</p>
<p>The engineering physics major (AEP) is the best around. We have SO many labs, and many undergraduates work in them. Of course, I don't WORK in them, but I have seen Duffield's clean room (clean suit and everything) AND I've walked around the tunnel for the particle accelerator, both being led by some of the leading scientists. Pretty neat I think. Hopefully I'll be working in them soon :)</p>
