If you don't mind me asking, but where do you go for uni?

Answer 13

I'm at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark.

Answer 14

Wow, that's amazing. I wish I could to uni overseas...lol

Answer 15

I applied to Oxford in the UK....but my parents are quite hesitant in actually letting me go for a tour of the campus in a few months...

Answer 16

Oh I am born in Denmark and citizen so the most obvious choice for me, but thanks.
Yeah it is fun to get a bit away, also see some other places.

Answer 17

Exactly...obviously I'm from the US but trying to get a break from everything back home... I would love to go to uni overseas, I mean a few of my family members live in the UK so it wouldn't be too bad...

Thanks for the conversation, it's always nice to make new friends!

Answer 18

Medal for choosing physics.

Answer 19

As an undergraduate I highly suggest asking your professors to do research with them or let them show you around the lab. Try to become friends with your lab TAs and see what PHD students ACTUALLY do.

Answer 20

Thanks @agent0smith (:

& thanks for the advice @Kainui I'll make sure to definitely do that

Answer 21

Brown and MIT do mid-year acceptances for High School students? Hmm...

Answer 22

She's waiting because if she were to join now, it would be mid-year. @abb0t

Answer 23

Aw congratulations (:

Answer 24

@Kainui "see what PHD students ACTUALLY do."
Destroying the undergraduates experiments and excuse them self with the phrase "It is so long time ago I did that stuff *leaves*"

Answer 25

Sorry my avg experience with the Ph.D

Answer 26

Haha no that's exactly what I meant. The reality of how if you don't seriously enjoy it and do well in undergraduate, you're going to look like a fool who hates their life for about half a decade.

Answer 27

True, I do think they do know a lot, also are they very experienced and their degree most take a lot of their time. But the suggestion is good, hope the research is more accessible at US unis.

Answer 28

Thanks again to all of you... & @abb0t I said I was waiting until August for the fall semester so obviously I'm not starting mid-year...
