What American colleges or Canadian universities are considered to be good for a degree majoring in physics?
There are just too many for me to give you a comprehensive answer. There are big-name science institutions like CalTech, MIT, and Harvey Mudd, but you can also get a good physics education at a liberal arts college (of which there are many!). Head to a bookstore or your local library and check for the college guides published by organizations like Barron’s or the Princeton Review. For American universities, they provide lots of information about everything from academics to the social scene. And they will usually tell what the most popular majors are, or if there are certain fields that the school is particularly well-known for. If you’re in a library that shelves its non-fiction books according to the Dewey Decimal System, just head straight to 378.16. That’s where all the college-search resources are, and there are usually lots of them!
