<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I am a Math major and I will be looking for international research opportunities outside US ( since most REU require US Citizenship or permanent resident) . I am looking for places like Paris, ETH Zurich, even London and Israel.</p>

<p>Which of the UCLA or UMich is mostly well known for Math?<br>
I am aware of the rankings and all, so if anyone can share their experience of abroad then it will be really helpful.</p>

<p>UCLA and Michigan are extremely similar universities, and math is no exception. For example, while UCLA currently has a Fields’ medalist on staff, Michigan has produced one as an alumnus. FWIW, I’d probably give Michigan a slight edge in Europe and UCLA a slight edge in Asia. But like I said, both universities are very similar.</p>
