The discussion revolves around the choice between Stevens Institute of Technology and NYU for majoring in physics. Participants explore various aspects of both institutions, including academic strengths, living conditions, and overall experiences related to the physics program.
Participants do not reach a consensus on which institution is better for physics, with multiple competing views regarding the strengths and weaknesses of Stevens and NYU.
Some claims about the institutions' strengths are based on personal opinions and experiences, and there are unresolved considerations regarding living costs and social environments.
Prospective physics students considering their options for higher education, particularly those weighing the benefits of different university environments and academic strengths.
In NYU you may have very interesting and entertaining time behind your major. In Stevens you would live in Hoboken... so, up to you.Christine90NY said:I plan on majoring in physics. Where would I be better off - Stevens Institute of Technology or NYU? If I was doing engineering I'd go for Stevens for sure...but is Stevens good for physics too?

It seems to me that Columbia is stronger in Physics than NYU.

NYU has a good Math department as well: http://math.nyu.edu/
Certainly, it would be expensive to live in that part of NY... but the Village is a lot of fun.
