I like this. Kinda embraces technology and uses it for education. The way things should be!

Loves reading (these days wastes away more in front of the TV), and ocassionally posts information based on what she finds in the world out there.

Hi Adele....
I must say that you're a rare species. Whatever the case, what do you think about Imperial or McGill for physics?
Hmmz, I'm afraid I don't know. I usually say that I haven't any basis for comparison, and this is true! I've only the Cambridge experience, but what I've heard from people at Imperial - it's a great place too.
The UK system's more structured, which is what I prefer, but some people like the flexibility of the US education system. (Is Canada the same?)
At the end of the day, the syllabus is but one part of the education. I'll say to choose the school and environment which best suits the student, then make the best out of whatever circumstances you're in!
For the record: I love Canada, but it's cold...
yeah, pretty much the same like the US, the only catch is that you only have the freedom to choose the courses within your declared major.
Well, I think PhD is not just about a long term investment, perhaps it is more about the amount of passion lies beneath the soul of a researcher. Working with the best people in any parts of the world serves as a boost and a challenge, however, at the end of the day, it all lies in the mind of the researcher to make worthwhile educational contribution in his/her specialised field for the welfare of mankind.
