Small classes, profs who care about teaching, the fact that we have an optics lab.
>Things you dislike about it
Very few chances to do research, the fact that there are literally 4 people in my class with physics as their major, demotivation whenever I realize I'm going to a school for brainlets and am most likely a brainlet myself.

I go to a so-so Canadian University and even with a full courseload it's probably about half of your cost in USD. What the hell is with American schools?

Woah! How is the physics department? It's like one of the only open STEM majors (or rather, non-capacity constrained majors or whatever the fuck they're calling it now).

I'm in my last year of the molecular/cell/developmental bio program at UW. Same experience as this anon, good campus and tuition is better than most. Poorfag so most of it is paid by the state.

Computational math with a minor in business
Southwestern University (small liberal arts school not too far from Austin, Texas)
$55k a year but merit aid allows me to attend for $10k a year
Interactive professors, amazing people (met a qt3.14 at an incoming students orientation and have been together since), strong sports culture, beautiful surrounding town, lots of things to do on campus and in Austin
Dorms are shitty, food is mediocre, curriculum is rather easy (senior class in a math B.S. is real analysis)
Freshman

I have enough AP transfer credit from high school to graduate early. Is it worth it, anons? Should I just major in something else to keep myself occupied for three more years?

They will? That's kind of cool, I think I might sometime. I had Phys 121 and 122 with Nikolai Tolich, and he was fantastic, and all the people in the study center were really cool whenever I went in when I had those classes. If I recall correctly, a physics lab out of UW pinpointed the most accurate graviational constant, right? Might be old, outdated news though.

I'm actually physics at UW too! I'm curious as to how someone could say that the physics curriculum is "good" though, with tutorial often mismatching lecture by weeks, stupidly low curves, and the proportion of professors that just write math on the board for 90 minutes without any regard for how the students are actually doing. Its certainly not bad, and there are way worse departments, but I think it has issues.

Aforementioned biofag here, and I definitely get the sentiment from the 12X series. However, I blamed most of the tutorial shenanigans on the fact that they were revamping it and it seems like something where they're constantly throwing shit at a wall to see what sticks. The grading system overall/workload is a bit silly, but the professors in my experience have been really easy to talk to, and passionate about their work, so while the grading structure is painful, the material becomes incredibly interesting when you engage with the professors. Still I can't really speak for all profs, and it was always a bit silly to get a test back with an average that was in the 40% range.

>Things you like about it
It's cheap. I'm so glad I didn't go right to a UC (Uni of California) right when I got out of high school, I feel bad for my retard classmates who are getting their GE for 30k a year. Also the school is pretty well funded, we have an observatory and a planetarium which are great to use, lots of cool professors. I should also add that I go to the largest community college in the world, you can probably find out what that is if you look it up.

The people in my school are unmotivated, boring... just cancer normies that even permeate the science departments.

>Things you dislike about it
The uni is growing to fast like any other in the Netherlands, mainly due to the grow of people who want to pursue STEM degrees but also because of the influx of foreign students which affect the quality of education and the rent in the city. This is even worse at other unis. It is almost impossible to do a minor at my uni.

More cause the campus is really nice, not too far from home and they gave me some money to go. The Sixty Symbols lecturers are actually pretty bad compared to the others, in particular Moriarty, he spent more time playing his guitar in lectures than teaching us Quantum Mechanics.

Wish I'd gone to Warwick, I had an offer and from what my friend who goes there tells me the workload is more challenging and they teach more stuff earlier.

>Things you like
-The professors are top notch as its the best paying uni in the country
- how incredibly well streamlined everything is
- the graduation time is short but not too short
- the facilities are in great shape although the uni is small
- how ridiculously demanding it is
- the study curriculum is very exhaustive

>Things I dislike
- they make you take a general year filled with meme classes even if you destroyed the internal entry test (I was in the top 100 of 12k applicants and still had to take the general year)
- they make you take classes that have nothing to do with your career, I had to take a general chem class and a chem lab even tho im in EE, computer engineers have to take all the general physics courses, chem engies too, etc
- no curve is applied in any class, so even if youre top of your class your gpa will be garbage and in the inscription period you compete with everyone for a early inscription turn and you always get fucked in the ass by the faggots in the humanities that have a 4.0gpa.
- the student base, its less bad now that im far in the career but most people ive had to share classes with we're absolute disgusting retards.

2. Private Catholic University in U.S.
3. About 40k a year but after scholarships and what not just like 7k a year.
4. Beautiful Campus and the professors are well prepared and great instructors.
5. Students are usually rich snobby white kids mostly from California so it's hard to relate when I'm a commoner. Hard to relate until it comes to doing drugs.

My H.S GPA was 92/100.
My SAT reading and math was 1190 (I know).
I get $1k a year from the state for doing a standardized test in H.S, and $4k from the school for being not a complete idiot.

Top tier, best of Latin America (if you want to apply you need to do the 2 first years of any engineering degree, then you have to take a some tests and if you are the top 5% of applicants you get in). The program takes 5 years in total (2 years of basic engineering classes, and 3 years of Nuclear eng). The place is beautiful too, google "bariloche".

Math, at UC San Diego.

PhD student, so no tuition fees and also a solid stipend. They subsidize housing which is the only high cost in San Diego, so I’m actually living a great life. $750/mo for a studio by the beach in La Jolla.

I like the weather. I understand why people retire to Hawaii, CA, and Florida now. There’s just something wonderful about being able to run along the city in tshirts and shorts at midnight in the middle of December. Academics are great too, with people like Kiran Kedlaya, Daniel Kane, and Andrew Suk.

I don’t like the homeless in San Diego. They’re drawn here because of the weather and NEETbux. Luckily the city is heavier on policing than most since it’s a border city and also houses several military installments in the area.

>Things you don't like about it.
Floated through the undergrad degree and did a final year project with a processor in the college which allowed me to stay in the group and continue as a post grad. Never really put much thought into it and now am questioning if this is even really a field I want to work in.

Planning on doing an MsC in programming and going into the tech field, always been a computer nerd and regretted not doing programming after high school. I applied to a prestigious-sounding degree and assumed I'd be set for life. Floated to this point and realised its not that simple. The regrets didn't disappear and the older I get the more I feel like I'm wasting time in the wrong field. I don't want to be in school forever but I might as well use the PhD to save money whilst working on a good resume (albeit in an irrelevant field) and in two more years I will have a bsc and PhD in a good college and can start my delayed entry into the programming world.

It just sucks that I spent 8 years on what essentially is virtue signalling on my resume.

You may find yourself enjoying analysis more as you grow older. Analysis is a function of effort more than anything else to do well. One of the better analysis students I know got there with nothing more than a strong work ethic and proper writing skills.

I definitely think my main problems with analysis stemmed from my own lack of focus starting in the differentiation section. My first post-doc was awesome, and he made the vector space part wonderfully intuitive (especially since he didn't use the book and I had done some work with topology and vector spaces prior). My second (for differentiation), though, made heavy use of the book (which was the Boller-Sally pre-print, if you know it, which I and my friends that I talked with thought was horrible) and also made things more confusing in lecture. So I dropped the ball second quarter. Third quarter (integration) I did fine until differential forms.

Those, combined with my (subjective) view that basically every significant proof we did in class or homework was horribly ugly, colored my view of analysis for the worse. I definitely hope you're right, though. I will probably go back for another look in a couple of years, after I explore algebra some more.

Hopefully you dont encounter any of these people at the grad level in your classes but since its Seattle expect to run into full blown sjws. Im not exaggerating when "stop mansplaining" and the like come up in classes. I was kinda bitter when a math teacher told male students to not go to a tutoring event since there should be more room for women since "math has been a boys club for too long"... she was a fan of Piper Harron so

Yeah, if you do not focus on analysis properly you are not putting in the proper work ethic that the subject demands. The reason for me suggesting that the subject would be more fun when you are older is that generally people grow up to develop a stronger sense of conscientiousness.

Prefer not to say. Smaller school in my state, not well known anyway. I go here because I can afford it and I can commute to it. I would never have been able to afford education if I had to move to go to school.

>Tuition, if any
Roughly $6,000 per semester, plus books and such. Government grants and scholarships ought to pay approximately $3,000 of that per semester, but last year my school basically revoked all my aid causing me to miss a semester and only go part time in the spring. I was awarded the more or less the same aid package in grants and scholarships this year for the '18/'19 year, but after a few months the school has put a hold on my account. After filling out various forms and battling the IRS and providing all the documentation I have been waiting for weeks with my aid status "under review" with no updates. Terrified I'm going to be fucked again and have another year tacked onto my degree after being delayed 1 year already.

>Things you like about it
Sometimes the classes are interesting.

>Things you dislike about it
I have kind of come to hate academics. Constant feelings of stress and anxiety, not only performance in school, but about finances and how I am going to be able to live. I am an older student and didn't start college for ~6 years after high school so I work and do school full time. I've been successful in terms of grades so far, but school is really not set up for students like me who have to work, study, and commute to/from campus. It's almost impossible for me to participate in research or extracurriculars. Other students are young and childish. The physics department is absolutely tiny, comfy atmosphere, the few professors all have their ups and downs.

>Academic level

The good thing, I learned how you should "learn" finally after 24 years of my life. I learn 6-8 hours a day for 4-5 weeks prior to the exam (because I'm too fucking lazy to do stuff before that), but I notice how far behind I am intellectually, I'm surprised that I was even allowed to study at all, I wouldn't put a guy like me even near any complex shit at all.

Ah, well that's unfortunate, I was hoping to enjoy the sea and some friendly people but it seems that may not be happening. Thanks for letting me know. I'm from the south so it'll be a bit of cultural shock to have legit sjws hanging around, I'm not white so maybe I can use that to keep them off my back. Now that you mentioned it, I actually just recently saw that Piper was an invited speaker at UW, which is a little disconcerting. All memes aside the fact that she got a PhD from Princeton and then immediately got a professorship at the university of hawaii (Hawaii is fucking gorgeous btw and the department is one of the better number theory places, her 'field', which makes it all the more painful) is something that's always annoyed me.

>Like about it
Everything besides the actual education. Town is beautiful, the university is old and full of heritage, campus is amazing. A lot of attractive girls. Pubs and clubs for students only (which is otherwise unique). Friends are great. Community is a lot of fun, activities all the time, from playing sports to quiz-nights to big parties.

>Things I dislike
The education. I wasn't a breeze to get into my program, it's one of the harder ones to get access to in Sweden. Unfortunately I thought it would result in a really high standard on the education. It's not like the lectures are horrible, or the professors for that matter, it's just not what I thought it would be. It all seems so mediocre.

People are pretty chill and mostly working class backgrounds, only a few upper class pricks. Close to my home so travelling isn't an issue. Good facilities for the most part.

Lecturers are a mixed bag. Unclear on what content actually needs to be memorised. Labs always go wrong and none of the staff know anything since they're just phd students fulfilling a contracted minimum teaching hours.

It's a nice comfy course. If you enjoy maths and ships it's really interesting. Math and physics lecturers are really good. Same with Nav and Chartwork. Normies don't last the course. Most drop out.
>Things you dislike about it
It's in the middle of fucking no where. You either stay down in this shitty village or you commute. We're under the umbrella of another uni but never see that place at all. It's a no life tier course desu. It's either you get good grades or have a normal life. There's no inbetween. Very competitive too. They say it's not a competition but it is. Espicailly for the sponsored cadetships. As much as lecturers are professional one in particular is rather angry and sarcastic. If you don't pass your exams it's a nightmare. Expect to be treated like shit from time to time. Not for the faint hearted.

university of canterbury (new zealand)

bout $6500 nzd per year, but first year tuition is free in nz and I got a $6000 scholarship so I'm all good until third year

in my hometown, lets you do philosophy as a major in a science degree, also in new zealand so law can be done at undergrad level

dislike that there are better universities in new zealand (especially for law) but going to one of them would more than double my student debt since I wouldn't be able to live at home, also dislike brutalist architecture

Totally false. With a management degree you can get a higher position without many problems. If you don't have one (if you are for example an EE), you will have to get an MBA like 10 years later and have your first "high level" positiion when you are like 35, meanwhile you can easily get the same at 25 with an management degree

Well sheeiitt. I'm pretty much apolitical, but SJW's annoy the fuck out of me. I try to avoid them as well as the ultra conservative folks. I live in Austin, and it has a pretty nice balance between the two extremes, but jesus the weather here is terrible, i.e. hot AF, ~45% of the year. Any thoughts on Portland? It seems pretty similar to Austin but I haven't visited and therefore have no idea.

Hey mate, I'm an Eu fella, thinking of applying and going to Scotland to study industrial design since all the courses in my country are comically bad.

Any recommendations? Or Advice? Thank you and best wishes.

If you prefer physics, then go for physics and take your insistence on logic and rigor with you. Rather than staying in esoteric mathland and dabbling in the things physicists talk about. The physics world desperately needs more of the first type of person doing research.

It takes 5 years to do your bachelors+Masters here in Finland, but if I understood correctly it only equals bachelors in US/UK? How long does that take to achieve there?

The best for undergraduate, pretty good professors at least 60% of them with PhD from good unis around the word US, Europe.
Good curriculum, I'm getting the same education as top University's in the world
Beautiful Campus and community restaurant meals for 0.60U$
>Things you dislike about it
Not much opportunity for research in academia or outside
There are dumb people that take 7 years to finish a BS, and people that don't realise the good education they are getting and settle for mediocre jobs

>Academic level
Bachelor degree last year

Extra info
IMPA is in Rio de Janeiro Just for graduates and today is the best in Brazil but in some areas IME at USP is the best
Unicamp (Campinas), UFRJ, are the other top tiers one here.

If anyone want to ask anything you are welcome.

Masters in Finland is the equivalent of Masters elsewhere. It's just that Finnish institutions have people do Masters degrees by default on top of their Bachelors. In the UK/US people leave university with just a Bachelors more often.

Not him but I wouldn't recommend Stanford, it's kind of in the middle of nowhere, not much to do. MIT does have the nicety of being able to cross enroll in Harvard courses without having to deal with the bs that comes with being a Harvard student, but it has a pitfall in that it is also filled with spergs, at least from what I've seen. Much of the same can be said about Caltech. I can't really defend Princeton, though the research is top notch and the campus is immaculate, but it has many of the same pitfalls as Harvard (hyper-competitive, high strung, fuck tons of cheating, so on and so forth). UCLA strikes a nice balance in that the weather is amazing, the school has top notch faculty, and the people there are fairly normal (and there's a ton of asian girls, if you're into that sort of thing). Pitfalls are that prices in Cali are through the roof (those this is true for Northeast as well) and that it's in California (I personally don't like the people in California, while some are genuinely nice and laid back a good portion of them are totally up their asses). MIT would probably be the best, at least if you can handle and get along with autists (you're on 4chan so you should be able to)

Harvard is almost certainly among the best unis on the planet, it's really the undergrads (and some profs) who can be insufferable. The grad students I've meet from Harvard (in fairness, I've met only four) were really nice and cool guys. The undergrads, however, were just plain assholes. It's also the case that a large chunk of students are "legacies" which boils down to a good portion of your classmates being trust fund babies who are only their to get connections and don't really give a shit otherwise. There's also the people who are cutthroat as all hell, which is a turnoff for a lot of people. Hell, even among the students who got in, many of them aren't even that good and just played the system to get in.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Harvard_cheating_scandal
When you have to cheat on a fucking open notes, open book, open internet test for a freshman course, you know something is wrong. It's also not just the humanities
https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2017/05/04/possible-cheating-uncovered-popular-harvard-computer-class/4Wu2EfzWMEwXveBuuo9qFJ/story.html
So yeah, cheater's who just don't give a shit about education are pretty big. You might say cheating happens at all unis, and you're right, I've just never seen or heard about it to such a degree at a top uni (besides Peking).

Cheating is done primarily to save time. You don't gain anything from learning the material back to front as you probably won't need to use it again in your life. SWIM cheated all the time, like paid people to write essays. This was done because SWIM doesn't give a shit about history or art electives.

>Things you dislike about it
Outside of labs, professors is just that dude who lectures in front of me for 4 hours each week. I never actually interact with them, as TA's take care of that. I understand it's different over in murrica, and i'm quite jealous of that.

About 6 years for BSc.+MSc. (Austria had a different system back then, the course was 'designed' for 5 years, but not many finish in less than 7). PhD was spot on 3.5 years.

Hey /sci/, I haven't decided what am I going to get my degree in, though I've narrowed my options to physics, maths, and CS.
Whichever of those I choose I want to do research, and I want to make a significant contribution to the field I choose, if possible.
Even though all three of them interest me equally I had some preference for CS because I thought I'll at least have a greater chance of doing what I like in the private sector if I'm not fit for research, but the three of them all seem like amazing careers to follow.

Which one of them has more interesting fields of research? In which one will I have more chances of contributing if I decide to be a reaearcher?

nah it's not a "real" masters per se - its equivalent to a standard bachelors in other universities. The university doesn't offer a bachelor of engineering.

Unless you're suggesting it will be easy?

Engineering/science basic phase almost completed (this university has a shitty basic phase for every career type). I signed for Mech Eng. but prob gonna change it to Industrial Eng. since i don't wanna be a poor mechanic projectist of many, althought i really would like learning as much maths as possible as i enjoy it.
UBA, the best uni in my country but oly #300 globaly acording to some fag's statistics.
No tuiton, the only reason i am here. I'd like to avoid politic shit wich is 90% of UBA, so engineering is the best in this sence.
I like the maths.
I really dislike the programs are getting shitier every year, at leas in the basic phase. My physiscs and chemistry teachers were terrible and also idiotic. The politic indoctrination is svere, the nly made the basic phase s that everybody had to course "society ans state".
Academic level is getting worse as i said, and probably isnt very good compared to the first world, but we are not that bad neighther.

I was being a bit facetious, basically Stanford is located near Palo Alto, and Palo Alto is kind of...boring and expensive. The only major city near it is an hour a way so if you don't like what's in Palo, you're kind of fucked. I would strongly suggest looking up the stuff they have in the town and making sure it's to you're liking

Around 6k a quarter or so.
Pretty nice layout of buildings, right next to the beach, free bus pass to the entire city, some pretty reputable professors in several fields here.
It's usually cold in the morning and the weather can flip flop pretty easily. All of my finals and midterms recently have been stacked right on top or right next to each other, so it's been a real fucking pain studying for them all efficiently. Other than that, loving the school.
Just an undergrad. Finishing up my 3rd year, though.
