Hello! I'm about to start my senior year of college and will almost definitely pursue a PhD after graduation. I've made a list of potential graduate schools, but I need to cut it down significantly. I would appreciate general feedback or suggestions - how's the university, any notable faculty, surrounding environment, good spread of reach/safety, etc. Thanks all!
