As a physics major I can say it's pretty difficult.  You've not known pain until you've tried to take senior level quantum, electrodynamics, and thermodynamics all in the same semester...

As for the easiest majors, I'd agree with the idea of just looking at what the athletes at a given school are taking...


Amen to this!!! I finished my bachelor degree in Physics in 2008, and I have to say that those 3 years and a half were heavy, heavy, heavy stuff. I've always been good at school (And still was), but it has been years of only doing impossible homeworks (3 per week minimum) where you take 3 hours just to guess how to start the problem, 50 pages laboratory reports and attending classes were you take 10 pages of notes in less dans 2 hours (this may not seem so much, but fill those pages with complicated physic laws and triple integrals and it becomes really fun), all of this almost every week for more than 3 years^^'.

Reaching graduate studies was really a relief, I had control over my project, my schedule and I was paid!!! I finished my master degree this april and I started my first ''real'' job two weeks ago, and I would never go back to my undergraduate years ^^ It was fun, but extremely painful at the same time lol

 

So, to the future Physic undergrads........if your program is anything like here in Québec, good luck, and have faith in yourself ;)

 

Voilà^^


Congrats on getting through it, I'll be finishing my undergrad this december then on to grad school next year...
