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, I’m joining from Turkey and I’m 28 years old. I discovered my interest in science through a YouTube video (@Veritasium) , and everything I’ve learned since then excites me so much that I feel like a child wanting to share every new piece of knowledge with those around me. Although I don’t yet have full mastery of mathematical formulas or physical laws, my passion for learning constantly drives me to explore and understand more. No matter how complex the world of science may be, my...
