I'm shifting from Physics to Nuclear Engineering for a MS...my hope is that with a strong math background, the transition will be manageable. There's tons of research going on - the field is incredibly broad. If nuclear power generation doesn't interest you, I recommend looking into detection/nonproliferation subfields. I'm willing to bet that the US government will continue to fund research in this direction for the foreseeable future.

ghanada - Thank you so much! I'm going to be referencing your post often over the next couple of months!

Hi all, I'm looking at moving to Ann Arbor in the summer to begin grad school in Nuclear Engineering (which I believe is North Campus). I am married, with two kids and two dogs. Finding a pet friendly 3-4 bedroom home in Ann Arbor seems tough (~2k/month budget), so I'm looking at Ypsilanti. Couple of questions for anyone in the know: 1) Is the commute doable year round, or does the snow/ice sometimes render the roads impassable? 2) If you are car-commuting, how does parking work? Do you have to park further away and bus in? 3) Are there any other outlying areas or towns where a lot of grad students live?
