I just graduated from high school, and planning to get into physics major.

Right now I am applying, assumed being accepted, at 3 uni:

the number is the the overall ranking 2006 in THES

22 The University of Melbourne (Australia)
33 Hong Kong University (Hong Kong)
60 Nanyang Technological University (Singapore)

All are reputable universities, each are unique and special in their own ways. That is why I am so confused. Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance.

Is English the language of instruction at all three schools? Are the tuitions comparable? Do you know anyone studying at any of the places you applied?

Good luck with acceptances.
 
Yes, English is the language of instruction at all three. Yes, they all are comparable. Sadly, No...
