Maybe a degree is easier but to say the field is easier doesnt make any sense. The research frontier is equally impenetrable from any technical field. Also your coding is never good enough, quite literally. There is no upper bound on your ability to code and there is always someone leagues better, see front desk quant teams.

Second and third years are OK, fourth, fifth and sixth are more intensive. I work much less than in first year, which was basically hell.

>I guess doing medicine + an ENS course would be pretty intense, how does that work btw ? Do the students take a break from their medicine course or do they actually have to endure twice the course load ?

If you success ENS as a med student, you have to follow both in the same time (8AM to 8PM every day) in L3 and M1. Then you stop medicine 1 year for M2 and after that you can choose to applied for a PhD or continue medicine and do your PhD later. It's interesting if you like biology and others pure sciences (you can do what you want at ENS, even maths) but I can't imagine the load of work. Finally I'm happy with my modest medicine/science program.

Sophomore EE.

The work is pretty damn heavy, especially coupled with the reading-intensive electives that I was a bit foolish to pick, but I don't hate it. I'm more saddened by the fact that I don't have time for anything on the weekdays anymore. It's more confusing than anything considering how I essentially need the TAs to translate all the stuff the professor says in one class and the quantum mechanics in the other. It really clicked with me for the first time in terms of interest when I realized that I made an integrator with an op-amp. I thought that was neat as hell when that hit me.

Also, I took PHYS 101 & 102, so not quite as intensive as yours. Got an A- and a B for 102.

Switching to Elec has been a hard workload, but it's currently chugging along well enough for me. Now I hiss at all things CompSci related after dropping COMP 182.

I don't really know how to rate the physics major difficulty here. I do know a physics guy at Hanszen who worked at CERN over the summer, so maybe you could talk to him.

By the way, I look forward to wiping an ass full of shaving cream all over your non-college this weekend.

You EITHER do the 3 year or 4 year course. 3 years gets you a bachelor's, or you tack on an extra year and get a master's. You then use the master's to go on and get a phd.

It's the school of mines.
Aerospace has nothing to do with mining and extraction.

Hey,

Seems legit, though I hear we have shitty math professors (I took calc elsewhere so I dunno). Obvs you're gonna do what you like anyway, but you might wanna get second opinions on peeps if you have a choice in whose classes you're going to.

ETH is probably the best university in continental Europe
Lausanne is pretty competitive in some engineering/science fields though

The psych is more rigorous than I expected. I do not enjoy the courses in social/personality or abnormal psych (mostly because of all the fuckin papers and "responses") but the neuro/cognition/stats courses are great.

Math department is chill. The calc series is dreadful, but that's probably due to it being required for such a variety of majors. Every other course has well-spoken professors and the environment is relaxed and discussion based.

But I do want to do it. I just don't know what "it" is.

I just need some information on what would be a good "it" so I can set my autism upon it for the next 2 years and extend the duration of my autismfest if I manage to get into grad school for it.
