Question
Hi,

I'm in my way to college.  And now I'm comparing between universitites. I wanna choose the best one. Please do me  a favor and tell me- from your experience- three Mathematics colleges which you think are the best on earth; two from the USA, one from Europe. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME!


Answer
There's no such thing as a "best college".  Some math programs are more theoretical, while others are more applied.  Some are in big cities, others are in small towns.  You need to figure out what type of math you are interested in, and what type of environment you want in college.
