Which universities are known for their exceptional Physics programs?

AI Thread Summary
Popular universities for studying Physics are often recognized for their teaching quality rather than research funding. The effectiveness of instruction can vary based on individual interests and teaching styles. Rankings from magazines can provide insights, but they may not reflect personal experiences. For undergraduate studies, affordability is emphasized as a priority over prestige. Ultimately, focusing on a cost-effective option allows students to save money before considering graduate school.

Cool, thanks for the advice
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. Someone who shows interest in science is initially a welcome development. So are fresh ideas from unexpected quarters. In contrast, there is a scientific community that is meticulously organized down to the last detail, allowing little to no external influence. With the invention of social media and other sites on the internet competing for content, unprecedented opportunities have opened up for...
I am following someone on Youtube who has built a rocket shaped (4 proprllers) drone for the world speed record ... He was having problems with internal heat from electical control gear and battery inside the sealed rocket (about 1kw waste heat) Speed is 500km/hr , I suggested a 4mm hole in the tip of the nose and 8mm hole at rear which should alow sufficient air cooling .. I said this will increase thrust because the air exiting is hotter .. a bit similar to a ram jet ... was I correct...
