About US
 

Well , I 'm a person very interested about <BR>US , I'm from Brazil , and I just love US and I think it's the best country to live ! I'd like to know what's the best college <BR>to study Technology , Science or Astronomy(because I'm very interested in these three themes ) and I'd like to know what's the best city to live and work(connected with Technology , Science and Astronomy ). <BR>Any answer will be accept ! <BR>Thank you very much !

Look, don't take this the wrong way, but why would you ask advice about the best educational programs on a travel related site. Your concern should be on the quality of school and then on it's location, not the other way around. There are hundreds of schools that could be what you're looking for and they could be in almost any state or in any type of region/climate you could imagine. Obviously if you're interested in Science and Technology and you don't know about Seattle, Silicon Valley, etc. you need to do some more background investigation. You would probably be better off looking at educational websites and narrowing down your school choices and then posting here with a narrower question. Good Luck

I agree with Wild Bill. The only advice you will get at this point is other folks singing the praises of their home town. <BR> <BR>There are really many places that would suit what you are asking for. <BR> <BR>You need to narrow it down a lot. Then come back and ask questions when you can be more spcific. The following items are important: <BR> <BR>1. Is cost a factor? <BR> <BR>2. Is climate important? <BR> <BR>3. Do you prefer a large urban area or smaller city? <BR> <BR>I am sure that there are other things as well. <BR> <BR>I am glad that you love our great country and I wish you well in your endeavors. <BR> <BR>Good luck.

I agree that you really need to look into this in a more academic environment to really find out specifics--also, it depends what kind of science, biology is very different from computer science. Funding is a big consideration also, as well as generally what kind of place you want to live (during school and after). With many schools, it can help to go in the area you'd like to live, local companies may recuit and the professors have ties to the area. If you graduate from top-notch schools, you will certainly be mobile, but I think it can help to be in the same area. There are many good schools in many sciences, but for starters, definitely among the best in the country in most science/tech areas are Cal Tech in Los Angeles and MIT in Boston. Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh is good for engineering, and many Univ of California schools are good for science (UCLA, Berkeley). Tops schools Princeton, Harvard, and Stanford are also good in many science/tech areas. Univ of TX, Austin, is good for computer science and maybe astronomy. I'm from Wash DC and surprisingly (because it's not really topnotch overall), U of MD, College Park (nearby suburb) has a very good computer science program. Since you're from Brazil, you might not like the cold of Pittsburgh or Boston, etc. I wouldn't. Cal Tech in LA (really Pasadena) is certainly worth looking into (www.caltech.edu). Ask your professors for this kind of info, they should know top-ranking US schools in the fields you want. I don't know that much about working in a field, certainly California and Seattle are good for engineering and aerospace (at least used to be). Wash DC and San Jose/Silicon Valley CA are both good for computer science/internet stuff (Wash is also good for biotech stuff as is New Jersey). Many sciences aren't in that big a demand, I don't think, like physics, astronomy, etc., but you'd have to check with experts in those fields for that info.
