I´m a physics international student and i m planing to spent a year in a exchange program in the US. Most of the universities i have the possibility to go to are not very famous (at least i don't know very much about them ), so i would appreciate some help choosing the best ones for physics.

The options are:

-George Washington university
-Georgetown university
-missouri-sant louis university
-Ohio state university
-sant louis university
-Skidmore college
-Syracuse university

Boulder, Ohio State and Boston University are the 3 I would choose from your list in terms of notable physics programs. I should point out that this based more on what I have heard about them and not from my experience at any of the 3 schools.

The only school I have any direct experience with is Skidmore as I used to live only about 10 minutes away from the campus. It is more of a liberal arts type school and not really a science based school.

Hope this helps.
