I am having a hard time deciding between these two majors for my undergrad. My major use to be biomedical engineering, but the university that I am at has a very weak biomedical program, and it was mainly electrical engineering classes. Thus I switched over to physics, as I loved learning how things work and figuring out problems.
However, while in biomedical I took a Physiology class, which I also loved, learning how the human body functions and the different responses it has to certain situations, and so forth. Now I am torn between both majors, not knowing which one to follow.
The plus side on Physics is that the class sizes are very small. There is never an issue when signing up for new class, as almost no one takes the classes I am at now (upper division), and as before, I like learning how things work. However, some of the classes are only available certains periods, fall only or even only during odd/even years.
The Physiology program is huge at my university, but that does make for much larger class sizes, up to lecture halls. Getting into a class might be an issue, but usually they have several classes for each subject. One big plus though is that the Physiology classes tend to have a lot of hot chicks, so two thumbs up there 👍👍. Where in Physics, you might see one, or two at most
.
Thoughts and insight on these two would be greatly appreciated 😀.
PS: One last note, both programs would require the same amount of units to complete. This is due to that I am a lot more further in the physics classes, so even with the additional workload of taking O chem, Bio and such for med school, to finish the programs at this point would take the same amount of time.
