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 everyone, I'm Cosmo. I'm an 18 years old student majoring in physics. I found this forum cause I was searching on Google if it's common for physics student to feel like they're in the wrong major in the first semester cause it feels like too much for me to learn the materials even the ones that are considered as "basic math" or "basic physics", I've initial fascination with the universe's mysteries and it disconnect with the reality of intense, foundational mathematics courses required...
Hello everyone, I'm AlexR, a passionate physics enthusiast from Wisconsin, USA. I've been fascinated by the wonders of the universe for as long as I can remember, and I'm excited to join this community to deepen my understanding and engage in insightful discussions. Background: I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Physics, and my journey into physics began during my academic years. Over time, my interest has expanded to various areas, including: Classical Mechanics: Exploring the foundational...
