Looks like a horror show to me. Makes me feel embarrassed at leaving my math bs behind and going into cs. I have an insane retirement idea of retiring to some fun mountain town and going to grad school in physics. Where's the best place to go skiing with a college that takes old washed up programmers as students?

Good suggestion, but maybe shooting too high. Checks off the "in the mountains" part of my fantasy life. But a place that has seminars for grad students and working physicists and has many Nobel laureates who attended as students may be above my intellectual grade.

U of NM maybe? You can go skying just outside of Albuquerque and play golf on the same day.

Close by is Grenoble. You can take the bus from the main station to arrive at the nearest ski stations within 45mins. :)
