What are the top US universities for studying physics?

In summary: Cornell? I'm not sure if it's as well-known or not, but it's definitely worth checking out. Also, MIT has got a great physics program, and I've heard great things about Brown too.

If that's what you're looking for, California Institute of Technology is definitely a great choice. It's a small institute situated in Pasadena, California (1/50 size of Stanford), but has got great learning facilities and I think it has published the most paper in 2003 in USA.

P.S. Kip Thorne teaches there as well. (Richard Feynman used to... )
