<p>Hey, i'm planning to go across the pond for university because i have always been an anglophile and i really badly want to have the experience of living and studying there.</p>

<p>Over here i consider myself a decent student and many people would say i am a rough match would the following: UC Berkeley, Dartmouth, Cornell, UPenn, Columbia, Brown, UChicago etc.</p>

<p>I'm planning to major in Physics and have looked at the rankings for UK unis. However, i know rankings can often be very misleading and in some cases be downright wrong. </p>

<p>I was wondering if anyone here could recommend me some good UK unis for Physics which are roughly on par with my US "match" unis</p>

<p>Also i was wondering if going to a UK uni would hurt my chances of getting a job if i decide to return to the states?</p>

<p>^^^ St Andrews is a great university, but it isn’t great for physics. </p>

<p>OP, I’d recommend Cambridge or Oxford if you’ve got what it takes to get into one of them. And, Imperial, Durham, Warwick and Edinburgh would all be great for physics too.</p>
