I'm an undergrad in the MSE Department at UF. Anything specific you wanted to know? I haven't heard much about the program, but I might be able to comment on your PI.
I've seen the list and picked out a few so far. Naturally I'd like to apply to the big-name REUs, but if there's a lesser-known REU that stands out for some particular reason, I'd love to hear about it.
Can anyone recommend any REUs or other summer research programs in materials science and/or physics? I'm interested in your overall impression of the program, but pros/cons could also be helpful.
The difference between the BA and BS is that the BS has about four extra classes, but there's no way I can fit all of that in if I want to graduate in only four years (which I do). So I'd be missing out on some of the higher-level courses, but I can choose which ones I do end up taking.

Right now I'm working towards completing a BS in Materials Science and Engineering along with a BA in Physics in a couple of years. Although I'm not sure whether or not I want to pursue a Master's in Physics, I want to keep that option open for when the time comes.
I've looked at a few grad...
