Thanks for the answer The idea was to get a list of interesting places to choose from, apply to a bunch of them and try to have as much information as possible

Thanks for the answer The idea was to get a list of interesting places to choose from, apply to a bunch of them and try to have as much information as possible for choosing the final one Another interesting question would be which culture would be the best fit for me, I hadn't thought of that, thanks

If you know what kind of topics you find most interesting, you should put that on your list of preferences (combined with culture, location etc). If you have a weird mix like Biomedical Computing, Program Correctness, Computer Vision and you really like SAT solvers, finding out where the hotspots for those topics are can help you select a uni. I know of a few people that selected based on professors that would be available to them, and some that were purely interested in getting into any of the FAANG, that does limit your options and as a result should make your list much shorter.
