Double Major and Minor?

<p>I'm considering atteneding UCSC next year because of its highly regarded physics programs. When I submitted my application I declared myself a physics major, but I wish to double major. My additional major will be mathematics, which I know will not be a problem. The physics + math double major combo is one of the most popular double majors and is listed as one of the first potential combos on the ucsc academics webpage. The question on my mind is where UCSC stands on doing a triple degree; in this case a double major in math and physics and a minor in computer science. I'm sure that the school would allow this combination as a result of its fairly successful overlap between prerequistional courses, but that's only if UCSC allows for triple degrees. Does anyone know if they do? </p>

<p>On another note, can anyone confirm or deny UCSC's social reputation as being easygoing but not really a party school? I'm interested in joining a fraternity just becuase I enjoy the idea of being actively social in college while being a part of a tight brotherhood type bond. I know I might come across as not knowing what I'm talking about lol but I've been to the pike chapter at UCB a lot since my brother goes there and I've had quite a bit of fun and experience. </p>

<p>Thanks a lot</p>

<p>I’m not sure if triple degrees are allowed. Especially if they’re all fairly similar. (But I’m really not that positive about this as I’ve never looked into it, talking to an adviser would probably be your best bet)</p>

<p>I have never had a problem finding a party when I wanted to. No, we’re not UCSB and partying all day erreday, but there are parties (plus we have the famous 420 celebrations right at Porter field :P). Especially around 3 day weekends and Halloween, SC knows how to party too, don’t be fooled. There are a couple of different frats here: the more professional ones that (from what I’ve heard) don’t party much, and the super party ones. Because our greek life isn’t that large compared to other schools, though it is growing rapidly, there aren’t too many in between sort of frats. But everyone I know that is in one loves being apart of them and you can definitely get the social and brotherhood aspects from them(:</p>

<p>They do allow it. I know a guy with two majors and two minors. And there should be no problem with adding computer science to the mix, it’s not too similar. :)</p>
