Straight from Our Students
It’s all about the experience, opportunities, connections, and relationships you make here.
“I have learned so much physics outside of my required major-related coursework doing research over here. The amount of new physics I’ve learned—the depths into which I’ ve been able to explore particle physics—is something that I didn’t know would be possible.”
Sneha Dixit, ’23 | Physics & Mathematics
