Hello. I have applied to Harvard, MIT, Princeton, Caltech, Stanford, Columbia, Cornell and University of California - Berkeley and I have been accepted to all of them.
Now, I don't know which one to choose. I want to study Physics and later study Quantum physics and astrophysics. Which one of these universities should I choose.
Thank you for your help. Your answer shaw guide me to the right place.

impressive that you were admitted to all these prestigious universities. especially considering that it's only january and these schools don't send out their decisions until april. sure you could have been admitted 'early decision' - but then you would have only been admitted to one of these schools and would be bound to go there.
dumba**

Whoa! Congratulations! These are all great schools. If money were not an obstacle, I would personally choose Harvard. It has such name recognition and clout that you can't go wrong.
If money is an obstacle, I'd go with UC Berkeley, which is the only public university in this group. If you can get in-state tuition (which is possible after a year if you don't already live in California), Berkeley is much more affordable.
If you want nice weather, Stanford, Berkeley, or Cal Tech are your best options.
If you're looking for attractive cities, I'd go with Princeton (Princeton, NJ), Cal Tech (Pasadena), or Stanford (Palo Alto, CA).
Cal Tech and MIT may be best choices for your preferred field of study. Please note, though, that there tends to be an acute shortage of women at tech schools. Also, you won't have as many choices for non-technical courses, or if you change your mind on your major.
If you like big-time sports, Berkeley and Stanford are the only Division 1-A schools on your list.
I went to college very far from home, and it was a difficult adjustment. You might want to choose a school closer to where your parents live, or where you have relatives.
Realistically, there are quite a lot of other factors involved. I'd definitely get some up-to-date college guides, visit campuses, and talk to present students. Since all of your choices are world class, I'd suggest picking the place where you're most likely to be happy for four years.

University A - you're paying for an education, not a social experience. If you want to have fun, skip college altogether! Besides, even the most rigorous colleges allow for enough time for students to have fun. There are still tons of parties at notoriously difficult colleges like Wake Forest and Carnegie Mellon.

MIT is #1 for physics and quantum, so i would go with that.
Harvard, Stanford, Columbia-more business/law
Cal Tech would be pretty good too.
