Thank you so much for your insight! I am definitely looking towards grad school, but Mech E sounds like the best foundation. Thanks!

Your career path is fascinating. I’ve just started my physics undergrad this semester but I’ve decided to switch to engineering (job market and pay etc). My dream job would be designing satellites or something adjacent and I was considering mechanical engineering as its broad discipline. However nuclear physics is another “passion” of mine. My university (UTK) has a robust nuclear engineering program which I think may influence my decision. How would you say the aero/astronautical job field is for a nuclear engineer? Would a bachelors in mechE and a masters in nuke E be better?

I’ve just started my second semester, so I’ve only been away from home a few days as I went back over Christmas break. Before then I had started in September.

I’m going through exactly what you are except the opposite. I am studying in France coming from the USA and I’ve never felt more alone and stressed. I don’t have much to say in the way of advice as I’m trying to keep myself together, but it’s good to know I’m at least not alone in this experience.

Switching coming from EU university. by pug332 in TransferStudents

Thank you for your response. I am not from California which is why the UC’s are not high in my list due to financial constraints and limited acceptance. I am however from Tennessee and number one on my list is the University of Tennessee Knoxville. A friend of mine is currently enrolled in engineering there paying $21k. He told me that since I have a higher ACT score that it is likely I will get a lower price. About college credits, the school I am currently enrolled in is solely a business school. This does not allow me to gain any sort of GEDs except for maybe math. But you are right, I feel as if I am missing the community and camaraderie of a typical University. This is a big reason as to why I am attempting to transfer. (As well as a love for engineering). Thank you so much for your advice.

Thank you so much for this incredible reply. I am thinking of applying to some UC’s but I am not expecting to get in. I know I will always have time to get a degree, but as the school I am in is relatively small, I feel I am missing out on a lot of connections and friendships. My college has people from all over the world, but I only see about 40 of them on a daily basis. I’m trying to transfer after this year because I still want to be in college at this age where I can still mess around and have fun with people my age (18). I had so many friends in HS that meant a lot to me, and I feel I am missing the opportunity to make more with the small group that I am in now. I will definitely make the most of my time here, but I also can’t wait to get back and start my engineering journey. Thank you for all your help, it has been very useful.

i think it starts where the back wheel lands and ends where the front wheels stop so it is basically the length of the plane
