I remember there being some posts a while back from people who were trying to decide whether to study math or physics at the graduate level. Just wondering, if you were one of these people and are now a grad student (or past grad school), which did you choose and how did it turn out? Any advice to those of us working on final decisions?

I'm in the middle of trying to make this decision myself, in between writing the speech for my Honours thesis!

For me it's a toss-up between theoretical particle physics (ie braneworlds adnd AdS-CFT) at the University of Melbourne in Australia or mathematical physics (string theoretic dualities) at the ANU.
