<p>I'm a senior in high school with a strong interest in Astrophysics. I am starting a list of the best schools for this major, and would like some help...anything would be appreciated.</p>

U Oklahoma</p>
<p>harvard<em>and</em>berkeley has a PhD in astrophysics...PMing might be good.</p>
<p>
<p>U. Arizona, U.C. Santa Cruz, U. Texas, U. Hawaii, U. Colorado, U. Illinois, U. Wisconsin, U. Maryland, Penn State, U. Mass., Ohio State, and Stony Brook.</p>
<p>In general, astronomy & astrophysics is an expensive department for a university... so good departments are often only found at high-profile private schools or large public research universities.
