Natalya Shcherban ’18

When I decided to major in physics, 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. 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.“
