I got a C in intro physics my freshmen year... I'm now a junior who has gotten an A in every upper level physics class I've taken, got a job doing physics research, and will be heading to graduate school for theoretical physics in a little over a year. If you really like it, stick with it...

I agree with Dr Transport, a lot of the computational physicists are the guys that "clean up", or verify that the guys in the theory department (you know, the guys locked in rooms with large blackboards and empty coffee cups strewn about) are coming up with the right equations. I however, am one...

Otterbein College; Westerville, OH. Small, private school, great programs in physics (my specialty), chemistry, and life sciences.

I too think that it depends a lot on what you're studying... For Classical Mechanics/Relativity: I would just work through AS MANY PROBLEMS AS POSSIBLE. Since the concepts are more intuitive, and this kind of stuff is what you usually first get with the upper level classes, I found it best to...
