Hey everyone,
I am going into my second year of university, and I am thinking of declaring a double major in Physics and Political science.
But of course, I have my doubts.
Physics is obviously going to be a tough major that requires a lot of commitment. I did well in my first year physics courses, but that's because I worked hard and practised a lot. However, in my first year, there was only 1 physics course per semester that I took. If I choose to become a physics major, there are going to be multiple physics courses per semester, and I'm not sure how physics majors divide their time and attention to do practice problems for all their courses. I know that if I don't read the textbook and practice, I won't do well. I'm not one of those brilliant kids who just get everything by going to the lectures. My passion for physics is unquestionable.
Political science is my other passion, but I heard it's one of the toughest majors in the Arts department; heavy essay writing, lots of readings, profs who mark hard. I just don't know if I can handle both physics and political science.
So just wondering, has anyone double majored in physics and another major before? Preferably in the arts? What was the experience like for you? How was the workload?
In case if anyone is interested in knowing, I am thinking of applying to law school in the future.
Many thanks,
Lilly
