If everything goes right I am in my last year of my physics program in my university.

I want to do research, I did a short internship at CERN and I would like to work there, and I know that for that I need to get a masters or a phd.

The thing is that I am not sure to which university should I go, I don't feel a strong connection to any institution as I've seen some people do.

Also, I would like to earn some money while I study, to be self sufficient.

The last thing to consider is that I will apply for a scholarship at CONACYT, a mexican institution, and they give you the scholarships once you have been accepted.

I am trying to give enough information to get a good advice without saying too much, if I didn't mentioned something important please let me know.

Thanks

This is so vague as to preclude any useful advice, I'm afraid.

Have you at least made a list of some universities that participate in research at CERN?
 
Which country are you in?
