Maybe if I wanted to go into research or academics. But both of those would require a master's+. which is what really matters. Again, no help for undergrad.
The majority of jobs/prof schools don't care if you're an Toronto, McGill, Calgary or Mount Allison graduate. All they care about if you can do your job or not. A Noble prize isn't going to help that. Having better study facilities would. Having smaller class sizes and less overcrowding would. Extending the money used for the reactor to bursaries and things would.
I'm not saying research is useless or not needed, far from it. I'm just saying this thing is not going to benefit the majority of students much.
