Schools Canada: Physics/Math Undergrad: McMaster vs Queen's vs U.Western

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on choosing between undergraduate physics/mathematics programs at McMaster, Queen's, and the University of Western Ontario. Participants agree that all three institutions are comparable in quality, with no significant advantage for one over the others. The decision should be based on personal preferences, such as cost, comfort, and program attractiveness. One participant chose not to apply to the University of Toronto due to a lack of comfort during their visit. Ultimately, the focus is on finding the environment that fosters the best learning and performance.

I am finishing grade 12 and want to pursue a career in physics/mathematics. I applied to, and was accepted into said programs at McMaster, Queen's, and University of Western Ontario. I was wondering whether anyone had a specific advantage over another? (Undergrad)

I don't think there's any major advantage of one of the others. They are all great schools on par with each other, in my opinion.

Given that, you're in a position to make a decision based on your own personal preferences. Is it going to be cheaper to go to one over another? Do you think you'll excel in one place? Is there one program that's particularly attractive to you? I would aim for the one where it seem like you're the most comfortable at because, at the end of the day, what will matter is how much you learn and how well you perform.
 
Why didn't you apply to U of T?

Yeah that makes sense! Thank you!

When I visited I didn't quite feel as comfortable with the school as a whole as I did with the other three.
 
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...
