Hi, I just got accepted for grad school in nuclear engineering in Georgia Tech and in UMich-Ann Arbor. I am wrestling with the decision where to go. UMich was ranked #1 in nuclear engineering, whereas GaTech is slightly higher in general overall ranking (not highly ranked in nuc eng). It seems...

Good to hear you have some adventure ahead! If you haven't graduated yet, you may want to consider doing an exchange through your university. Usually the courses are taken for pass/fail credit, and you could potentially spend a school year in somewhere like Switzerland! How can you go wrong...
