Schools Indiana Schools for Astro Physics

AI Thread Summary
For those seeking quality education in astrophysics in Indiana, Purdue University, Indiana University (IU), and the University of Notre Dame are the primary institutions mentioned. The discussion highlights the importance of refresher courses for adult learners returning to school, especially for someone who has been away from academia for an extended period. It suggests considering local community colleges for these preparatory courses to build a solid foundation before pursuing a degree in astrophysics. Joining forums for guidance and support is also noted as beneficial for navigating this educational journey.

I wish I didn't have to do that, however it has been a while since I went to an actual school, and therefore practical and realistic. I am glad I joined the forum. Thanks again!
