Hello, I'll be getting my physics BS soon and I want to obtain my master's in some other country. I have been thinking about going to either Japan or Switzerland. Has anybody studied in any of those countries?
In Japan I'm considering the University of Tokyo. In Switzerland, the EPFL Lausanne and University of Geneva. I'll be going for experimental HEP.

I think lots of European universities are working with the LHC, if that is what you are interested in.
