Hi, I'm Alex.
I'm 19 and starting university this winter as a physics undergrad. I haven't decided which school to go, but before my semester starts, I was hoping to do some preping. If you have any tips for a pre-freshman, don't hesitate to give advices.

Hello and :welcome: !

I hope you will have fun and stay curious.

We have an Academic Guidance forum and Homework forums of all kind. If you will have specific questions on exercises, please use the homework forums and - which is important to us - show us your work and how far you got.

Will check those out. Thanks!
