[b]DS is a sophomore physics major[/b][/quote]

PP, does your DS find physics major at UMD challenging?  How is the teaching quality, work load and cohort?  Any research opportunities?  Possible to double major?[/quote]

I don't know about double majoring. Yes to research opportunities - in labs run by the professors. Teaching quality seems good. Good cohort. Work load doesn't seem too terrible - my kid was able to get good grades while doing a sport kind of intensely! [/quote]

Thank you for this! My kid is a HS senior and interested in majoring in physics. UMD is one of her top choices.

UMD says that undergraduate classes are small for physics:

What is small? 30?, 40?, 50+? smaller?[/quote]

Can't answer this question but an attest that physics faulty is very strong and, of the few professors I've met who teach there, very nice. Plus IOnQ there so if your child is interested in quantum physics have some great opportunities. have met the undergrads that are doing internships there and they're impressive and will be well set post-graduation.
