Are there any science/math organizations I can join that will challenge me? Feel free to also recommend any summer program, fair, or website. What I'm interested in is being part of something that will challenge my knowledge and expand it, among giving me a feel of what my major is really like.

I am a physics major and live in NJ if that helps.'

Thanks in advance. =]

I can't think of many organizations that will "challenge" you, but you could join the American Physical Society, the American Mathematical Association, or many other such professional groups. With membership, you can attend conferences--great for expanding your knowledge--and even submit your own work to present as a poster presentation or a talk. Oh, and most of these groups have free or cheap membership for students.

Also, check out the Society of Physics Students (they have chapters all over, perhaps even at your current school...their get-togethers could be fun and informative).
