<p>I was thinking of double-majoring in physics/eecs, though not for my benefit. I have a psycho parent who was threatening to withdraw financial support if I didn’t major in engineering.</p>
<p>The important thing to know is that there are two types of physics degrees: focused and flexible. Focused is more for students who wish to pursue graduate school in physics, whereas the flexible option allows you to (more) easily integrate coursework. Most of the people I know doubling in EECS and physics are going via the physics flexible route.</p>
<p>As for me, I don’t think it’s worth it. I’m just going to end up taking the classes I really want to take, and a physics degree will fall out of there. I’ll probably end up taking some interesting EECS classes, but not for a degree.</p>
<p>As for my father… he thinks I’m an EECS major. ;). How convenient that you don’t have to declare until your sophomore year. ;)</p>
