I want to ask about university of colorado at boulder in general physics (undergraduate). Can anyone help me, please?. And if their better colleges in physics tell me about it, I want a college which creat a student with understanding minds ( I mean good stuff of teaching ) and not very hard in study and exams ( I mean normal exams and simples ).

Quite often your education (especially undergraduate) is what you make of it. Many people go to "poor" schools and make out quite well and end up at excellent graduate schools. As far as choosing where to go, your best bet is to just visit the school you are interested in and talk to some professors and students if possible. Regarding your statement, a good physics program is going to require a lot of hard work. You cannot just rely on an instructor to make you understand things.
 
I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
