<p>I am really interested in physics.</p>
<p>So I want to know some schools good for physics.</p>
<p>I heard that Cornell,Princeton,MIT,Harvard,Stanford,Berkeley,Chicago and Caltech are best..is it true?</p>
<p>And I need some low schools too such as UMD or UIUC..</p>
<p>And hopefully some Liberal Arts Colleges..such as williams..</p>
<p>If you have any US news rank or whatever..please post</p>
<p>ps. This is first time to write..lol</p>
<p>Harvey Mudd College in Claremont. Argued by many to be the best undergrad physics program in the country.</p>
<p>A team of 3 physicists from leading graduate and undergraduate institutions externally reviewed it in February 2004, and had the following comments:</p>
<p>The physics program at Harvey Mudd College is truly excellent and among the very best at undergraduate institutions across the country. The curriculum has been carefully conceived and is effective in providing an outstanding education to students, the faculty are skilled teachers who are extremely accessible and wonderfully supportive to students, the research experiences offered to students are top-notch, the department is an important contributor to the excellence of the institution, and the people in the department enjoy an esprit de corps that allows them to work together quite effectively. In short, the department enjoys the admiration of the administration, the faculty in other departments, the students, and now this review team.</p>
<p>In reviewing one of the best if not the best physics program at an undergraduate institution, there are no major problems for us to address. ...</p>
<p>Yes, Princeton has had some of the best physicists in history.</p>
<p>Your list is about right. Also look into the techie schools like CMU, RIT, and Case; the last one on that list is said to have the best undergrad labs in the country. Regarding LAC, the ones around Philly like Swarthmore and Haverford are pretty good.</p>
