Hi everyone,
I'm a freshman in Nuclear Engineering, taking intro classes like general chemistry, physics 1, and calculus 1. University placement in my country works on a ranked-choice system based on a national entrance exam. I originally wanted computer science, but my score fell short, so Nuclear Engineering was my backup choice.

I'm a few weeks in and starting to have some doubts. I don't enjoy chemistry and I'm not strong at it, and I haven't looked closely at the upper-level courses yet, so I'm not sure what I'd be getting into. I like coding and building things, and I'd like to understand this field better before I commit further.

From what I've read so far, the field has medical applications, but that side doesn't interest me and I'm not strong in biology. I'm mostly curious about the non-medical side.

My parents support the major. My dad was told by a science professor that the field has strong future potential, and my mom likes how stable and specialized it is.

I'd really appreciate hearing from students, grads, and people working in the field:

Coursework

1. What does the program actually cover?
2. How chemistry-heavy does it get after the freshman prerequisites?
3. Which courses were the hardest or most surprising for you?

Day-to-day work

4. What's the working environment like at a nuclear plant or other nuclear workplace? Is it mostly office, control room, field, or lab work?

5. How flexible are the hours? Is there time and energy left for hobbies and personal projects?
   Fit

6. If you had doubts early on, what helped you decide whether to stay?

Thanks in advance. Honest answers, good or bad, are welcome.

I’ve been rocking my jlab epic lab for over a year now. Still going strong though with some noticeable problems such as degraded battery, the volume sounding quieter than when I got it, and some connectivity problem like: delayed bluetooth connection with my iphone, buggy wear detection, and stuttering audio at times. So I was wondering if there are any news on a successor to these earbuds because I might plan on replacing them within the next 2 years.

Like the title has said, I’m currently looking for a headphone to get for my friend as a gift. And right now, I am stuck between those three. I consider getting those headphones is due to how unique they look and because the reviewers had said great things about them (except the Aviator because I hadn’t seen much reviews on it). Another thing I like is that they have physical controls, anc and other features like thx, bass, and the gaming mode on the skullcandy. But I’d like to hear your recommendations as well. Anything below maybe 300, except for sennheiser because I want to get a different brand than mine. I also want it to have a good mic, decent anc, and is suitable for gaming.

Additionally, if any one of you know a website or creator that does reviews and provide sound samples on the headphones/earbuds they review, I’d appreciate you sharing it with me.
