    Exchange Program
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on selecting the best universities for a physics exchange program in the U.S. from a list of lesser-known institutions. Key recommendations highlight the University of Colorado at Boulder, Ohio State University, and Boston University as the top choices due to their notable physics programs. Syracuse University is also mentioned as a potential option, though it is recognized more for its business program. Skidmore College is noted for its liberal arts focus, making it less suitable for a physics-centric education. Overall, the consensus suggests prioritizing Boulder, Ohio State, and Boston University for their strong reputations in physics.

hi everybody,

I´m a physics international student and i m planing to spent a year in a exchange program in the US. Most of the universities i have the possibility to go to are not very famous (at least i don't know very much about them ), so i would appreciate some help choosing the best ones for physics.

The options are:

-American university
-Boston university
-Florida international university
-George Washington university
-Georgetown university
-missouri-sant louis university
-Ohio state university
-sant louis university
-Skidmore college
-Syracuse university
-Tufts university
-University of colorado at boulder ( I think this is the better option)
-University of texas at san antonio
-University of miami
-wayne state university
-san diego state univ

Thanks,

Boulder, Ohio State and Boston University are the 3 I would choose from your list in terms of notable physics programs. I should point out that this based more on what I have heard about them and not from my experience at any of the 3 schools.

The only school I have any direct experience with is Skidmore as I used to live only about 10 minutes away from the campus. It is more of a liberal arts type school and not really a science based school.

Hope this helps.
 
Syracuse also and maybe miami
 
Miami?? i never heard of it as a good school

anyone?
 
Colorado at Boulder seems well-known for physics...

Isn't Syracuse known for its business program?
 
beetween the options the best in physics are colorado, ohio and bston, in that order. But the next one would be syracuse i think.
 
Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
