What are the best physics/astrophysics colleges?

<p>I'm just wondering if anybody knows which universities have the best and most highly regarded undergraduate programs for physics and/or astrophysics. Don't bother listing any of the Ivy League school because I'm almost positive I won't get into those, though I may apply to Brown simply because I live in Rhode Island and I may have a few connections.</p>

<p>UC Santa Cruz and University of Arizona are good for astrophysics.</p>

<p>Thanks for the info. </p>

<p>I can’t imagine I’d want to go to UC:SC considering only 3% of the students are OOS. </p>

<p>I’ll definitely look a bit more into Arizona, though.</p>
