@dustypig In terms of getting the classes we need, the physics profs guarantee all physics majors a spot in their classes so I’ve never had a single problem. Some other majors sometimes have issues the first year, but then they just do GEs instead of classes for their major.
There’s actually a significant number of physics/engineering majors at Scripps (and Pitzer and CMC which share our joint science center). Math was actually one of our top majors recently.
I’m absolutely willing to talk more on this, but since this is getting rather off topic from the original thread, might then be better to do it somewhere else
