My student needs to select either University of Michigan or UMD for his BS degree in Physics. His goal is to go to graduate school after that. His interests are in Nuclear Physics, in particular Fusion energy. He has a full ride to UMD which is also instate. If he were to go to UMI, he will only get ~ 23K ( I think out of state tuition at UMI is ~ 55K). The student is an exceptional student with overflowing motivation and self direction. I am not familiar with the physics programs at either of these universities. Can you guide us please?
I did some google search. According to https://www.usnews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-science-schools/physics-rankings, the physics graduate programs at UMI is rated at #15 and UMD at #18! Does this also translate to good physics undergraduate program?
