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!

Welcome to PF; it's good to have you here.

If you end up with specific academic-related questions, start a new thread in the Academic Advising forum to get some help. :smile:

Hello fellow Physics enthusiasts, I am an aeronautical engineering graduate (Bachelor's) who is interested in Physics and Mathematics, and I have been re-learning all the basics. I wanted to join a science forum, especially one dedicated to Physics and maths, to apply these subjects to my engineering studies. I hope to learn a lot through this forum. Thank you for your warm welcome.
