So I am starting my applications for grad school in the Fall of 2016, and I am pretty much settled on medical physics being my first choice after much debating and consideration. So far I am looking at the following programs:

-Radiation Oncology Physics at University of Calgary
-Medical Physics at University of Victoria
-Medical Biophysics at Western U
-Medical Physics at Carleton

Browsing their websites is one thing, but I'd like to hear if anyone has first hand insight? What are their facilities like? Is there access to clinical work and equipment? Are they respected? How is the funding? Good professors? How competitive is admissions? Anything you could tell me about one of the programs would be great!

Thanks in advance guys.

Those are all good programs. You might want to try contacting either faculty or current graduate students to get their input directly.
 
Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
