Advice on Transferring Universities for Physics/ME B.S.

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a student at CU-Boulder considering a transfer to either the University of Wyoming or the University of Alabama at Huntsville (UAH) for a B.S. in Physics and Mechanical Engineering. Concerns are raised about UAH's reputation, particularly regarding its Physics department, which is described as significantly diminished compared to its past standing. The advice leans toward favoring the University of Wyoming over UAH due to perceived shortcomings in the latter's academic offerings.
