Prospective Physics Major: WashU or Tufts?

<p>I'm a prospective freshman, I've gotten my admissions back; the two schools I'm heavily considering are Tufts and WashU. Both have their pros and cons, and I plan on doing overnights at both to see exactly which pros I like and which cons I don't like. </p>

<p>Anyway, I have a large interest in science and research--if all goes well, I plan on attending grad school and pursuing a PhD. My primary interest is in physics (astrophysics, cosmology, quantum physics) and at the moment that's the major I'm eying (along with a possible double major or a minor in a humanities). Even if I decide not to major in physics for some odd reason, I'll most probably be majoring in some science.</p>

<p>Which college would be better for physics? Which for general science and research?</p>
