What are the most common problems/regrets that undergrads have?

Which Undergraduate Degree Path is Best for Fluid Dynamics and Plasma Physics?
Thank you for your response. It is actually very helpful. What I am very unclear about is if the CS courses are more geared towards experimental or theoretical applications. That is I have the idea of theoretical physicists just needing pen and paper although I could be very wrong and now CS is...- OscarV

I am about to start a physics with theoretical physics major, I've taken calculus before but I've not been satisfied with the "memorization of formulas" type books. I started to read Spivak and found it enjoyable, but since it's a major undertaking I am also concerned for the practical value...- OscarV
