What are some U.S. & European Universities that have a good graduate program for studying Plasma Physics? I am specifically interested in application to fusion.
I know Princeton has the plasma laboratory, but that might be too competitive for me.
There's MIT's program, but that's probably competitive like the one at Princeton
