<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I posted in the internship section but I also put my thread here as it's related.
I'm currently a French student in fifth year of higher education (physics/engineering) and I'd like to do an internship in a US lab for 3 months.</p>

<p>I currently have some opportunities :
- Brown : on the bat fly
- San Diego : on nano swim
- Santa Barbara : on turbidity currents
- Princeton : on radiatively driven flows or vortex (2 different labs)</p>

<p>Basically, all these subjects look great.
I wanted to do this internship on fluid mechanics applied to aero/astronautics but it's quite hard to find. I asked many faculty in Stanford but they lack space and can't host international students.</p>

<p>I don't really know which university to pick as all these subjects interest me. Princeton and Brown attracts me (especially Princeton) but I don't really know why as I can't really compare them.</p>

<p>What would you advise me to do ?</p>

<p>Thanks for your help
Regards</p>

<p>So it sounds like you are finishing a master’s, right? Since your question requires a lot of specialized knowledge, I’m wondering if you have tried the [Academic</a> Guidance Forum](<a href=“STEM Academic Advising Forum | Physics Forums”>STEM Academic Advising Forum | Physics Forums) on Physics Forums or [Physics</a> GRE Discussion Forums](<a href=“Physics GRE Discussion Forums - Forum Index”>Physics GRE Discussion Forums - Forum Index). You are likely to find more people on those forums with specific knowledge of the graduate departments at the schools you are considering.</p>

<p>Thanks for your answer. You must be right, I’ll post there !</p>

<p>EDIT : BTW, yes by the end of the year I’ll have a master degree.</p>
