Hey guys, I know that PF posters often say to search, so I did that. I found that like 99% of the forum listed engineering as a major that required ALOT of the students time. However, I was wondering if we could put some numbers to this idea, I don't think that will be much of a problem since...

I'm torn between aerospace engineering and physics at the moment but I'm beginning to lean towards aerospace engineering. Now I'm seriously looking at University of Kentucky but they don't specifically offer it as a major but I've seen it grouped under mechanical engineering at other colleges...
