I can make a comparison since I have been to both Spain and the USA, but life in the US is fine. I think that I wouldn't be very much comfortable in a country where there exist a great possibility of being blown to 3 million little pieces while riding the train. But that's just me.

For undergraduate studies it doesn't really matter. If anything, go to somewhere cheap so you can save money. Then worry about grad school in a couple of years.

Magnitude of the direction of the current? I didn't know direction had magnitude.

Let me think: 100 sheets of paper (x 10, for 1000 sheets) + a pencil + eraser = $5 6x4 whiteboard = $200 Hm... let's see... tough decision

At least blow all your money when you go (unless you have kids).. don't be a wuss and do it snivelling on your bed with a bunch of pills. Live life a bit first, then off yourself.

Maybe you should blame your buddy that, since I don't see what the cost of the underfunded falling apart Canadian "healthcare" system has to do with Montreal vs. the rest of Canada

So you expect me to sit silent while some idiot Canadian spouts off about how great he thinks his country is (that is, if Montreal is even part of Canada in the next few years) and how terrible the US is? I've been to Canada and I couldn't wait to leave. Terrible place, unfriendly people.

People complain everywhere, moron. If you don't like it, stay out. Nobody cares about your opinion here, I assure you.

You realize that you pay for all of that through taxes, right? America, everytime. The US is great. Canada isn't an option for me. Yeah, right I go to college in Buffalo and you obviously have no idea what you're talking about. Amherst (a suburb in Buffalo) is the safest city in America...

You can find all of those for a very reasonable price on Amazon, if you go for used ones. For example, 3. Jackson, "Classical Electrodynamics" Just $28

Physics major, math minor.. though I'm thinking of doing a math major (which would require at least another year or summer courses). Since I'm going to grad school it might just be TOO much school though.

Fields Medal

Man I can't wait to win one of these :)

That's just you. I get more easily distracted in complete silence, since my thoughts have room to wander. If my ears are being filled with noise I can study better. I just listen to whatever, since I "tune out" the music. Without music, I have nothing to tune out so to speak.

I think categories such as "Textbooks", "Introductory Physics", "Intermediate Physics", "Advanced Physics", "Just for fun" (fiction books, something you can read in bed), "Other Sciences", etc. That way you can just look up a book depending on what you're in the mood for.
