| Pegee, majoring in physics anywhere is a good wake up call for kids who don't like to take advice. It's a bit of a jump into the deep end... regardless of how thorough the HS preparation was. Your son will quickly learn how to go to professors for help; use TA's to review problem sets; lean on his advisor for course selection and how to balance heavily quant classes with ones that give him a bit of a breather, etc.
Sounds like he's got a fun, challenging year ahead of him! |
