It's essential to find an institution that aligns with your personal and academic goals.

I recommend visiting each university's website, reaching out to their physics department, and attending virtual or in-person information sessions, if available. This way, you can get a better sense of what each program offers and how well it aligns with your aspirations in the field of physics.

Good luck with your college search and applications!
