Hi, I've been accepted to Applied Physics (PhD) @ Northwestern, and I've decided to go there. Unfortunately, I cannot pay a campus visit before matriculation. Can anyone tell me feelings about the campus?
BTW, I am considering finding roommates to rent an apt off campus. (It sounds very expensive to live on campus) Does anyone fancy the idea?

I don't know much about caltech, but it sounds to me that Phd study at caltech is boring and the campus in depressing. (If I am wrong, please point it out, cause I also applied for caltech.) Therefore, if I were you and if funding is guaranteed, I'd definitely go to stanford.
Good luck with your future plan~

Applied Physics @ Northwestern (PhD) and @ Yale (MS).
Can I ask why are you applying for MS? I think most schools admit very few MS students in Applied Physics.
Good luck with you~

Hi everyone~ I have troubles in choosing between Northwestern and Cornell. Both PhD programs in Applied Physics, and both with financial aids. I do not have any specific idea of what I am going to do for graduate research; however, I prefer something "applied", so that it could facilitate me in finding a job in the industries.
Northwestern's pros are:
1. very strong groups in materials science (especially nanomaterials)
2. located in chicago area, which might be advantageous for job hunting
Cornell's are:
1. Ivy~
2. engineering school ranks higher than Northwestern in general
3. beautiful campus
Can anyone give me some advice?
Any advice is welcome!

As far as I know, living on campus will cost you about 800+/month for a shared bedroom and 1400+/month for a single room.
