The discussion revolves around the decision-making process for selecting a university for studying nuclear physics, specifically comparing McMaster University and the University of Waterloo. Participants explore factors such as university reputation, available facilities like nuclear reactors, and personal preferences in choosing an institution for higher education in this field.
Participants do not reach a consensus on which university is the better choice for nuclear physics. Multiple competing views remain regarding the importance of facilities versus reputation.
Participants express uncertainty about the specific strengths of each university in the nuclear physics area, and there are unresolved questions about how to evaluate their options effectively.
Students considering a career in nuclear physics or related fields, particularly those evaluating university options in Canada.
, no waterloo does not have a nuclear reactor, but, it seems waterloo has a very good reputation for engineering. But I don't know how it is exactly for nuclear physics area. I really have to choose one of them but still don't know what to choose. I care about the university's reputation also.p1ayaone1 said:Does Waterloo have a reactor? If not then the choice is easy...
so what u suggest is mcmaster is a better choice??Dr Lots-o'watts said:Here's some reading for you.

will there be anyother option rather than doing that.. and that's actually one of the main reason or me to submit this question in physics forumDr Lots-o'watts said:I'm not making any suggestions. I just thought you might be interested in such information. I probably haven't looked into this as much as you have. Why don't you go visit each department?
