The Word From Students A sampling of quotes and sound clips from students:"When I decided to major in physics two years ago, I didn't expect it to be a life-changing decision. I knew I liked science and math, and I knew that I wanted to have challenging classes. What I didn't know is that learning physics involves learning totally new ways of thought. Now I approach everyday problems in the same way that I was taught to attack physics problems - logically, precisely, and with an awareness of the bigger picture. I'm undaunted by things that look complex because I know that most problems can be broken down into easier steps and ideas. Now that I can look back at the point where it all started, I can say that becoming a physics major was the best choice I made in college.""I meet with my advisor regularly; he makes tea and we can talk about any topic - from a problem I'm having on campus to my long term goals. He will be a mentor for life." "Drew University has been the ideal place for me to study physics. This particular science has a reputation for being very cutthroat, but my experience with the major was quite the opposite. Rather than struggling alone with textbook and calculator to score higher grades than students sitting next to me in lectures, I found my peers eager to work together in and out of the classroom. Such a cooperative attitude is almost inherent at a small university, and Drew is no different." Listen to what some recent
physics majors have to say!
