Ipse

Hi im in my early 20's. I left my liberal arts college a while ago and now im planning on returning to study physics or astronomy. I have traveled and lived in many places all over the world. I don't have a lot of money so i need to find a good school in the 6000 dollar range. I've been thinking about the university of cape town because it seems to have a good program and the exchange rates make it fairly cheap. I also like the idea of experiencing the world in yet another way. Does anyone know if it would be more difficult to apply to a good US grad school with a degree from a south African school?

I really don't know anything about this field what so ever but if you'll allow me to do a little speculation. There is clearly a reason why your college has divided this degree into two different fields. One being electrical engineering and the other being mathematics. Its seems that this dichotomy correlates directly with the two different realms in which computers exist, namely hardware and software. You simply have to decide which you would prefer to work in. since i dont know anything else about the field thats all i can offer
