Is Cal Poly Pomona or UMass Lowell Better for a Physics Bachelor's?

I was wondering if anyone attended here for their bachelors in Physics. I am trying to figure out which school to go to this Fall. I plan on attaining a PhD in what specific field, I do not know yet. I am a junior level transfer from a community college and am looking to get involved with research and internships as quickly as possible before I graduate. Their Physics department seems to be pretty involved as they have seminars all the time where they bring in people from the field and others to give talks about their research. I am wondering how easy it would be to possibly network with these people also in order to potentially work for them.

I do not have a definitive answer for you, as it will depend on your own efforts to network with faculty and industry professionals. However, based on the research I have done, UMass Lowell’s Physics department is highly regarded for the quality of its research opportunities and faculty. They offer internships and lab work that can help prepare you for a future in physics. Additionally, they have a tight-knit community of students and professors who are happy to help you develop your research skills and network with professionals in the field.
