I am in the last year of my physics degree and plan to go to McMaster or UOIT to do my graduate studies in nuclear engineering.

Does anyone have experience with the two schools in regards to nuclear engineering?

Update: I just received offer of admission to McMaster and still waiting for UOIT. If I do receive an offer from UOIT, I am not sure which one to choose.

So if anyone has experience with the masters program at one of the two universities, please let me know how your experience was (with your supervisor, campus, people, etc). I would like to hear from you.

I've always heard McMaster has a great program and the still host this website: http://www.nuceng.ca/index.htm

I bet both are good and I hope someone else can give you some feedback.
 

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...

Thread 'Should I submit 860 PGRE?'

Hi everyone! I'm a senior majoring in physics, math, and music, and I'm currently in the process applying for theoretical and computational biophysics (primarily thru physics departments) Ph.D. programs. I have a 4.0 from a basically unknown school in the American South, two REUs (T50 and T25) in computational biophysics and two semesters of research in optics (one purely experimental, one comp/exp) at my home institution (since there aren't any biophysics profs at my school), but no...
