I'm an engineering student (for now...) who's interested in Physics

How did you find PF?

Just got into the university and I'm expanding my horizons! I was always pretty good at math and physics and high school, so I chose engineering as my major. I'm starting to realize now though that it might not be what I want to do... So I'm joining this forum just to hear from others and learn more!

Over my senior summer and transition into college I have fallen in love with the idea of physics research. I've been doing my own personal learning but I feel like I can get a lot more from a structured program...Currently my biggest split is between deciding if I want to do an EE degree and minor in physics, or just full on major in physics. My school has a very good physics program and even a built in CERN abroad program for exclusively for physics juniors!

I'm only concerned with possible pivots if by the time I graduate I change my mind. I do hope to eventually work in experimental physics as that's what I find most interesting and have thought about potentially going to grad school after for physics even if I do EE undergrad. I'm kinda venting with this but basically just on here for exposure, advice, and fun!
