What universities are best for physics?

Question

MIT, Princeton....any others with great physics programs? Thanks!

Answer 1

Yes...the two you list are good starts. Also, Cal Tech, Columbia, Stanford, and UC Berkeley.

But the best school for space physics is the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, CA. They have more astronauts graduated from there than any other universities combined. So go to the U.S. Naval Academy, get your undergrad degree, and four years later, go to NPS to get your postgrad degree in space physics. [Just thought I'd throw this in as NPS is where I got my physics degree.]
