AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the academic paths and challenges faced by students pursuing multiple degrees and fields of study, particularly in STEM disciplines. Participants share their diverse majors, including physics, mathematics, engineering, social sciences, and economics, with some aiming for triple degrees or minors. Time management is a significant concern, with many sacrificing sleep and social lives to balance coursework, jobs, and personal commitments. Despite the heavy workloads, some participants emphasize the importance of maintaining a social life, engaging in activities like parties and outings. The conversation highlights the pressures of academic life, the feasibility of completing multiple degrees, and the varying strategies students employ to cope with their demanding schedules.

I'd like to know, mine is not physics or math. but I love math so I am here. How about you ?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Double in physics and math, of course. :smile:

I am triple :wink: social sciences(history), natural science(enviroment), engineering(mechanics).
 
Chemistry, mathematics, and economics. And no I will not be graduating in 4 years, it would be impossible.
 
Aerospace engineering
 
Physics and Mathematics, and the possibility of getting an Accounting degree with a minor in Economics as well.

Thus, triple degree + minor this is because of an Accounting background, so this can be done in 5 years.
 
Majored in Materials & Metallurgical Engg. Now doing a PhD in Physics.
 
Wow, I'm impressed. How the heck do you all manage your time?
 
Easy don't sleep. I sleep maybe 20 hrs a week, because I also work 20 hrs per week on top of going to school to pay for rent, food, and bills.

Man, you guys are nuts. I'm a physics major...that's it no other majors or minors, and I'm drained. Don't you guys need social lives as well?

Haha, I just got liquid swords a couple a days ago.

Hell yes I need a social life. Every Fri I go to the bars with my friends and drink. Sat afternoons I do work and sat night someone always has a party. Last week my roomates and I bought 3 kegs and had a pretty good party.

Aerospace Engineering
Maybe a minor in physics if I can get away with one more physics class by the time I graduate.

Well I don't pick a major until later on in the year but so far I'm thinking Honours Specialization in Planetary Sciences and Minor in Astronomy.

Math and Computer Science.

I speculate that I will graduate in 5 years. I'm so behind in my computer science classes now. I just found out yesterday that my Calculus IV class will be offered Tuesday and Thursdays from 6 - 8:40. I can't afford to wait for the Fall to take it.

Nuclear and Radiological Engineering, I might go for a double major with mathamatics.

Physics major, math minor.. though I'm thinking of doing a math major (which would require at least another year or summer courses). Since I'm going to grad school it might just be TOO much school though.
