Hi Guys, I'm an international student at Columbia University getting my undergraduate degree in Astrophysics. I'm planning to do summer research, and I'm thinking of schools outside of Columbia University. This has been difficult as most REUs stipulate US citizenship or Permanent Residence...

Argh, I read through my midterm answers, and I made algebraic mistakes very early on in the question, and because they are all multi-part questions, they all turn out wrong. For example, on one of them, I forgot to multiply g to the Normal Force, not because I didn't know ( because I did just...

Hi Guys, I need some advice/help. I am a undergrad at Columbia University, and am in my first semester, with an intended major of Astrophysics. I had my first midterm a month ago, where I got a decent 80%, and my homework grades were pretty consistently around that grade too. I go to...

Hi guys, I'm from Singapore and am starting my studies in Astrophysics in Columbia in like 2 weeks! I am so excited! I am planning a bit ahead and looking at REU website for next summer's internships, and I really want an internship in my field of astrophysics. Looking through that website...

$3 grand isn't a lot for a start-up, especially if you're going into production -- > just the initial delivery of goods will probably wipe you out ! I would seriously suggest a software start-up, and set it up so that you can get as many feedback as possible. Use those feedback to constant...

PHD Astrophysics... and the alternative Hi guys, I'm starting school in Columbia in like 3 weeks (! ), and am very excited to be finally be able to buckle down and study Astrophysics, which is my passion. My plan is to go all the way to a PhD, because I have so many unanswered questions...

Hi Guys, I'm going to start my undergraduate degree in Astrophysics at Columbia University this Fall. From the various conversations I have with professional Astrophysicists, it seems like i have to know computer programming on top of astrophysics, if i want to work in the field. I have ZERO...

Thanks guys ! My main aim right now is to get the Physics/Math in, especially because I'm thinking that I would lean more towards Theoretical Astrophysics... still it would be great to learn the Observation bit, but I think maybe i can get that from Summer Internships ? --> jtbell, when you...

Help guys ! I've been accepted into Columbia University, University of Arizona and University of Colorado Boulder to study Astrophysics ! But I don't know which one to pick... Which one has the best Physics / Astrophysics program ? My dream is to work towards a PHD level and find work as an...
