<p>I have lurked around the forums for some time now and finally decided to make a post as I cannot make up my mind of where to go. I just graduated from community college with my AA in mathematics and have applied (and accepted) to several schools as a transfer student. I wish to proceed in obtaining a bachelors in mathematics (although I would like to double major in physics if possible) and then proceed for a Ph.D. in mathematics or physics.
As of now my debate lingers among, Brown University, Duke University, and Williams College. I also have been placed on the waiting list at Cornell University.
I would like your own input from your own personal experience and observations of which school would provide the best education in mathematics and/or physics for an undergraduate, as well as best placement into graduate school.
Thank You</p>
<p>Congrats on getting into those prestigous colleges. I don’t have personal experience on this but if I were in your shoes then I would choose Duke.</p>
<p>Thank you. As of now, I’m just looking for the better mathematics program. Personally I like Brown, but at same time I like the Williams oxford style tutorial system. But cannot make up my mind on whose offer to accept :/.</p>
<p>Williams.
Liberal Arts colleges tend to provide a better undergrad academic experience in general. Williams is a great school that accepts very few transfers. You’re lucky. I’d go there if I were you.</p>
