Which of these colleges is best for Astrophysics/ Physics and Astronomy?



I just need a little more advice on which college I should attend. Right now my top three picks (not in an order) are:

Boston University
University of Arizona
Case Western

I also got accepted to:

University of Wisconsin Madison
University of Massachusetts Amherst

I wanted to major in Astrophysics/ Physics and Astronomy or something similar. I also plan to attend graduate school. Which college has the best Astrophysics/ Physics and Astronomy program? And any other suggestions or comments?

Thanks!

    If you do plan to go to grad school in astronomy or astrophysics, major in physics in college. Math, astronomy, and computer science are also useful, but physics is essential. U of A, Wisconsin, and Amherst have the best programs of the schools you mentioned – go to one of those. Personally, I'd go with U of A, they have a top-10 astro grad program, so it shouldn't be too hard to get into another top school for grad school from there. Spend your summers doing research projects either at U of A or through REU programs.
