I'm planning to study physics for grad school, but my parents didn't let me take a BSc in Physics. I'm currently on my second year in mechanical engineering (5 yrs). As of now, I have no interest in engineering--no plans on working in that field.
I'm thinking whether I should switch majors to physics. In my university, however, we are not allowed to change majors after sophomore year. So this means I would need to transfer.
Transferring would waste my 2 years, most universities wouldn't take credit for most courses from other schools. Would it be worth it to transfer, or should I just finish my BSc in ME and then apply for MSc in Physics? (As far as I know, ME wouldn't suffice much for a solid foundation in physics)Edit: The physics program to which I'm planning to transfer to consists of 5 yrs. That means 7 yrs in undergrad O.O
