doesn’t matter, you still have to study yourself and all the material you need is online.

AFAIK elite schools mostly involve eating pastries for 6 hours a day and then studying to upbeat techno music. In my drab state school we studied a lot but there was no good pastry shop and no upbeat techno music. It was sad.

caltech obviously the most based. small, no interest in politics, all science like MIT (but even better since no econ), and the highest research impact per student.

not an elite school btw

Caltech vs Berkeley vs MIT cs Carnegie Mellon

I say no to Berkeley due to the politics
no to MIT due to the soft sciences, no to carnegie mellong due to the methhead post industrial wasteland that is east Pennsylvania

That's a poor question. It depends on what you want to do. And there are many non-elite schools that are better at specific fields than any of those on your list.

I go to Stanford, which is pretty damn good all around, but it pales in comparison to UCLA, Princeton, and MIT for plasma physics. And for nuclear physics, the best school out there is Michigan State. Arguably the best atomic physics school is University of Colorado - Boulder, and CMU is considered one of the best computer science school.

If overall prestige is the most important factor to you in choosing a school, then you are likely not going to be a very productive scientist.

Mostly I want nice facilities and nice respectful professors/culture. Like basic human decency. I don’t want to go to a third world feudal guild university in the USA.

>nice facilities
You could be more specific. For example, UC-Santa Barbara is the best school to go to if you want nice microfabrication facilities (although UChicago's Prtizker School for Molecular Engineering might surpass this soon). I can't say much about other scientific fields.

As for basic human decency, then you may even want to be skeptical of elite schools. They can attract attitudes you may find repulsive. Top 30 - 11 schools likely have some of the best faculty, so big state schools with good programs in your field (e.g., UW-Madison, UMass, UMich, any UC schools, etc.)

every school has nice facilities and old facilities. there is no "one size fits all" school, especially for graduate study. for undergrad you're better off just going to a bigger name in almost all cases, except for if you have specific research interests

>UC schools
Yikes. I blacklist any UC school and graduate from my life. I make sure my job doesn’t hire UC grads. I hate that shithole. I went to one so I know it sucks.

I wouldn’t mind a mid level public school like Michigan if it was decent and full of people who were respectful of each other. It’s annoying spending years at a school filled with douchebags. I don’t know that elite would be like that tho. A lot of elite schools have better funding which probably translates to less toxic culture. I wouldn’t mind competition or a type people.

Then you're a fucking moron for assuming all UC students are monolithic. Having an opinion about a particular school is one thing, shitting on tens (hundreds?) of thousands of students for picking a school that you don't like is arguably one of the dumbest things I've ever heard on this board.

I think your search is over because you clearly lack the critical thinking skills necessary for a career in science.

It doesn't matter for undergrad.
They aren't really educating people better than elsewhere.
They just select from the best so it looks like their output is good but in reality it is the input that is good.
For grad school, it probably helps to work with people that have a reputation and can get more funding.

doesn't translate to good buildings or a less toxic culture. anyone from these schools can tell you. Yale has one of the most toxic environments imaginable

Yeah so I make an effort to hire USC/Stanford grads purely because those two schools are “rivals” to their respective local UCs. In my whole time here I’m the only UC grad on the team and there’s a few older than me but I’m the designated UC interviewer so I always find a reason to reject them.

Basically if a student says they hated UC they have a shot but I never lead them to say that and so far when I ask how they liked their school they say it was great and beam with smiles at me. That’s when I disqualify them.

Are you the Stanford anon? If so I don’t think you realize what a rat race unfounded shitty university is like. Yale cannot be toxic because it has a twenty billion dollar endowment with half your average UC’s student pop.

Awww seeing liberal elite ultra wealthy hypocrisy was total toxic for you I’m sure. You don’t know true suffering. Yale and Stanford are both ipso facto nice places with decent people. Why? Because rich and funded people don’t behave like half starved psychos. They just don’t. I’ve seen it play out myself. The grass is greener on the other side mostly because the other side is watered and is Bermuda grass and maintained by trained professionals landscapers all funded by $20,000,000,000+

T-B-H none, If you want material to study the internet is by far the best school like >>11756516 said, what those "elite" school sell you is 30% the fancy experience >>11756525, 20% the Teachers (that don't even pay attention to you) 40% the name of the school, and 10% the real education.
I'm doing my Undergrad in what y'all would consider a trash school (still #100 tho), but my experience was 11/10, Day one told my teacher that I wanted to do research and if he could help me with finding something to do.
Started making coffee and carrying papers around, then he started to tell me what those papers meant and what should I study in my free time to understand it, got me an exchange to Japan but Corona fucked my plans up.
Wouldn't change a thing.
