AI Thread Summary
Sheffield and St. Andrews are being considered for study, particularly in the fields of Finance, Chemistry, and Math. Sheffield is noted for its friendly community and decent climate, comparable to Seattle. A current master's student at Sheffield mentions a positive experience but lacks specific details on the programs of interest. There is also a suggestion to explore Imperial College for its strong reputation in sciences. The discussion invites further insights about the universities and their surrounding areas, particularly regarding community and social life.

Do any of you have experience with UK Universities? I'm looking particularly at Sheffield and St. Andrews.

If so, what did you think about the school and the community?

My interests are in Finance, Chemistry and Math.

Thank you for any insight into these schools and surrounding areas.

I can't say stuff about those particular universities, as I don't know anything about them to be honest. You'll be able to find out lots of stuff here though.

I'm currently studying at Sheffield working towards my masters in Nuclear Waste Immoblisation. The area here is great. The people are friendly, and the climate is okay... think Seattle for the climate. As for the subjects that you're interested in, I couldn't start to tell you how the programs are here. However, if you want to know more about the surrounding areas, and pubs, let me know.
 
You could also possibly look at Imperial college as it is one of the best for the sciences.
 
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
Hello, I’m an undergraduate student pursuing degrees in both computer science and physics. I was wondering if anyone here has graduated with these degrees and applied to a physics graduate program. I’m curious about how graduate programs evaluated your applications. In addition, if I’m interested in doing research in quantum fields related to materials or computational physics, what kinds of undergraduate research experiences would be most valuable?
