What colleges have the best Astrophysics programs?

I am looking for the best programs in the country. I believe the University of Chicago and Rice University are very good. Does anyone have any good suggestions? Thanks.|||The top programs in the country are Harvard, Berkeley, CalTech, Columbia, Cornell, Stanford, Yale, Princeton, U Chicago, UCLA, UC Santa Cruz, U Arizona, U Hawaii, U Washington (Seattle), Ohio State, UMass Amherst, U Virginia, Rice, UT Austin, U Wisconsin (Madison), U Michigan, and several others. These are the top grad schools; you can do your undergrad pretty much anywhere (major in physics). A liberal arts college might be a good idea; you have more opportunities to get involved with research projects with professors if you don't have to compete with grad students.|||Ones with cooperative observatory programs should be good, too.


Caltech
