<p>If you're a physics major at W&M or at any other college, tell about experiences, what to expect, rigors of physics classes, course descriptions, general impressions, etc.</p>
<p>I also want to know if W&M is research oriented or theoretical research.</p>
<p>And also, how many physics courses are there in W&M? Is it small or big? When I checked the web, I only found few handful of physics classes offered in W&M. Is that all or does that indicate the major courses offered? I'm little confused with the course listings.</p>
<p>I'd appreciate it if you guys can give helpful advice or replies.
Thanks</p>

<li><p>I took nothing beyond intro science</p></li>
<li><p>one of my roommates was a physics major</p></li>
<li><p>he said research is required for the major</p></li>
<li><p>I think he said there were like 20-25 physics majors</p></li>
<li><p>if you look at the course catalog, it should have everything that's offered. Look at the entire catalog, not something on the department website.</p></li>

<p>Thanks, soccerguy315. So, are you engineer major? And, would you recommend me going to W&M for physics or not really? Anyway it would be hard for me to get in. BTW, can you ask your roommate physics major to post a response here or do you think he thinks it was good choice to come to W&M for physics?
Thanks for the reply.</p>
<p>W&M has no engineering program (although I do think they have a couple 3+2 programs, I haven't heard of anyone doing that).</p>
<p>W&M has a quality physics department, that will get you where you need to go. My roommate was very happy (and very challenged) with/by the physics department at WM.</p>
