Hi everyone!
Recently I've been looking for a college that has a program that would be good for astrophysics or interplanetary physics. Any ideas for something slightly affordable in either Texas, or around Southern Michigan or the surrounding area (ideas from anywhere would be fine though)?

You could look into the University of Arizona in Tucson. I believe that's a very nice university for all things related to astronomy.

The U of Michigan (Ann Arbor) might be "somewhat affordable" if you qualify for in-state tuition.
