Which physics undergrad program?

[Rubyna Boodhoo]

Hi,
My son has to choose among these universities for an undergrad major in physics: Stony Brook, Colorado-Boulder, Georgia Tech, Santa-Barbara, Wisconsin-Madison, Boston University and Case Western. Which one offers the best undergrad program in physics if he wants to go for PhD in Theoretical Physics ultimately? Look forward to your reply.

He really can't go wrong with any of those. Which ever one he chooses, the most important criteria is to get excellent grades, and to try and get some research experience. Any of those universities will be able to offer that, especially the big ones such as Stony Brook, Colorado, UW-Madison (my alma mater), and UC-Santa Barbara.

Zz.

I'm trying to imagine the next step in this:
Son: "I want to go to Case"
Mom: "Sorry, but a bunch of strangers on the internet settled on Georgia Tech, so that's where you'll be going."

Every school on your list has sent many people on to grad schools and successful careers. The real question is which one(s) have the environment he will thrive in.
