So let me say this straight out: since our high school’s physics department sucks so much, I haven’t taken a single course of physics. I only took it at another country in a grade equivalent to 9th grade at the US - and loved every moment of it

Now I am torn if I should actually pursue physics at Hopkins. I understand that there are many widespread opportunities available for physics majors, but I am very worried about my divorce with physics for 3 years. Will it be manageable for me to be a physics major? i definitely plan to double major with some arts course (just something that I like), but will the coursework - as it appears- bury me?
