How is the department of physics at Boston College

[cmpla]

I apply for the condensed matter physics program. After I read the webpage from BC, I feel its physics program is not very bad, but its ranking from usnews is very low. Is there somebody from the department of physics at BC? I hope someone can give me some advice.

I have firsthand experience with BC's physics department.
They have some of the best experimental condensed matter physicists and that's about it. So obviously the "general physics" ranking is going to be pretty low for such a 1-dimensional school.

But if you want to do CME, BC is a good 2nd tier school.

Hi, then how about condensed matter theory at Boston College??
