Advice on Transferring Universities for Physics/ME B.S.

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a student at CU-Boulder considering a transfer to either the University of Wyoming or the University of Alabama at Huntsville (UAH) for a B.S. in Physics and Mechanical Engineering. Concerns are raised about UAH's reputation, particularly regarding its Physics department, which is described as significantly diminished compared to its past standing. The advice leans toward favoring the University of Wyoming over UAH due to perceived shortcomings in the latter's academic offerings.

I'd stay away from UAH...I went there and it isn't as good a school as they portray. The Physics department is a shell of what it once was.
 

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools.

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...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

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...

Thread 'Tips for a CS and physics major'

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?
