I want to have some more information about Education and Research quality in the fields of CMT and AMO in these two universities.
By reading some topics here and there, it seemed that these 2 colleges are emerging as strong research centers (young scientists and a lot of money to be spent),
so I'd like to know if this is true for real.
As an international student, I have more chances being admitted here than MIT, so I'd like to know some more about student & city life. I don't want to stay
for the next 4-5 year in desolated land.

Thank you in advance
