<p>Are you SURE you’d be willing to go up north? So, CT is south of MA where I’m from, but I ask emphatically, are you sure you want to spend your November to March in New England?</p>
<p>Haha, that aside, from most things you said (and from my underqualified opinion as a wee froshling) you seem to be a better fit for Caltech. Size of school will probably affect your experience a lot; the ratio is not as big a deal as it’s often made out to be, and “math/science nut” with intended physics major sounds very suited to Caltech. Although I’m not at all familiar with Yale.</p>
