I think one of the best things about the Board is when people can write thoughtful answers based on their own experience. Any one ...

Solid answers from both Vienna and Heidi Book on choosing a major.

Idk I thought Physics 121 was pretty easy, but then again Alberta apparently has the best high school physics program in the world and I'm aware that I'm relatively alone in my opinion of 121. MY PROFESSOR THO He used actual overhead slide projector and kept referencing MacGyver. Oooh, who was it?
