Can I Study Both Computer Engineering and Astrophysics in College?

[BreezyHJK]

Hello,
I am currently a senior in high school.
So, since colleges are just around the corner, I've been thinking of getting myself in an engineering school to study computer engineering. My dad wants me to get involved in software engineering, which actually sounds appealing to me. I enjoy solving problems and working on computers and all that.
But then, I wanted to learn astrophysics since forever, and I was wondering if I can study both. My parents and advisors are suggesting that I should just stick with engineering, but is it ok to stick on astrophysics in my education? Or should I just do physics in undergrad?
I'm confused on whether this would be a good idea, and if it would actually work out. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

engineering itself is a lot of work. Keep that in mind.

Hi there,

Nothing stops you from taking option classes in astrophysics, while pursuing an engineering diploma. By doing so, you will also get to know if astrophysics would be a field that still interests you, once you look deeper into it.
