This post is mainly intended for undergrads who are thinking about going to grad school.
I did my undergrad degree in Canada, and was subsequently very fortunate to receive one of the US Fulbright science and tech PhD fellowships to attend UC Berkeley. These are great fellowships, and if you are a non-american, and interested in coming to the US for PhD studies, I strongly encourage you to look into that program.
Recently, I became aware of a new program which is basically the inverse of the one I am currently a part of. This is a program run by Fulbright Canada to bring top US students to Canada's best universities to pursue PhD studies. The benefits are many, so I would encourage any potential PhD students to investigate more fully.
Even if you've never considered studying in Canada, I urge you to think about it. From my experiences in materials science, nuclear physics, astrophysics, and particle physics, the research facilities in Canada are top-notch, and Canada has some of the world's most liveable cities. Fortunately, our best universities also tend to be in our nicest cities!
Best of luck!
