Challenging but Rewarding Physics Journey

My overall experience in the BS Physics program has been solid, especially now that I'm in my 8th semester. I really enjoyed diving deep into complex subjects like electrodynamics and quantum physics; the curriculum is rigorous and definitely pushes you to learn. On the improvement side, the grading system can feel quite strict, making it tough to maintain a high GPA without putting in immense effort or retaking courses. Overall, I am satisfied because the core knowledge I've gained has given me a strong foundation for applying to master's programs abroad
