Sounds like we're going to be pretty close to each other. My apartment is about a 7 minute walk to Loomis Labs. Surprised how close to the engineering campus I was able to get although you're even closer. Thought I would end up much farther east in Urbana or in Champaign which is where I lived...

Thanks for referencing Merissa. I'm going to give her a call next week in order to clarify how I should proceed with the placement tests. Also if I can retake some of the introductory physics and math classes I'm going to do that so I don't accidentally put myself into an advanced class where...

Hi Curt, I haven't attended academic advising yet some I'm unclear what level of classes I'll be taking in the fall. While I'm technically a second semester junior due to all the transfer credits I've received I'm not going to feel comfortable skipping that far ahead in the physics curriculum...

Thought I would follow up with a change in my situation since I posted this thread in February. At that time I wasn't sure whether to pursue admission into a graduate physics program or get an undergraduate physics degree first. My background is undergraduate and graduate degrees in computer...

Hi jedi, Thanks for your response. We're in an unusual situation that's for sure. I did some additional research yesterday and came across a program at University of Illinois to obtain a second bachelor's degree. The idea being if you already have a bachelor's degree from another institution...

I'm looking for advice on obtaining a degree in physics. I'm older, 52, and have a BSE in Computer Science and Engineering and a MS in Computer Science. While I have a history of being both an undergraduate and a graduate student that was 30 years ago and in areas with little connection to...

Hi Everyone, I'm an IT professional looking to engage with all of you to refresh and expand my knowledge of physics and astrophysics. Areas of science I enjoyed when I was younger but have not kept up with since I graduated college. I have a BSE in Computer Science and Engineering from the...
