<p>I'm really interested in physics and want to major in pure physics, no engineering (at the moment at least). I was curious about what the best colleges were in this regard. I'm thinking about applying to the following colleges:</p>
<p>Rice
UT Austin
Stanford
UC Berkeley
Caltech
Princeton
MIT</p>
