<p>honestly, there is no such thing as rankings for undergraduate departments.</p>
<p>Thanks, collegehelp!</p>
<p>UChicago has an exceptionally physics program.
Also, consider University of Washington, it's very good for physics majors and easy to get in. Also, there is a plenty of rain over here in fall/winter time! :)</p>
<p>Thanks guys for the input, that ought to keep me busy clicking around for awhile. Does anyone know anything about The Univeristy of Oklahoma's program?</p>
<p>Gourman might have been strange but he generally was pretty accurate.</p>
<p>Who are Gourman and Rugg?
Can anyone elaborate on the funding for PhD programs in science? I never heard about that before, and my d is interested in ecology/marine bio/oceanography...</p>
<p>Well, you'll have to check with the individual programs to which your daughter wants to apply, but most of them are pretty up-front with funding information. The bottom line in the sciences is that you don't really want to go to any program that won't pay you to be there. :)</p>
<p>The funding is generally from the National Institutes of Health or the National Science Foundation (or whichever government agency is interested in your work -- the DOD and DOE give grants too). In the sciences, this generally includes full tuition remission and a living stipend. The stipend is adjusted for cost of living; the stipends at programs at which I interviewed were between $25,000 and $28,000 per year. Graduate schools in the sciences will generally not accept more students than they can fund.</p>
<p>I'm a biology graduate student, and as a first-year, I'm funded on a training grant from the NIH. Later I will be switched over to my advisor's grant money. I get a bill each month from the graduate school for my tuition and insurance, and it says "$0". :) It's a pretty good situation -- I mean, I'm not living like a king, but I'm not eating ramen noodles either.</p>

<p>1) Try different flavored-ramens, like ichiban beef or ichiban chicken.
2) Cup-Noodle is another option
3) Secret recipe: add a cup of cooked rice into ramen soup, mixed them well and eat, this is a money-saving method if you feel still hungry after youve done with your noodles</p>
