I'm still in high school, but I am hoping to go to TAMU for nuclear engineering the next academic school year. Since I go to a small rural school we don't have many classes that offer any information on this subject or at least a challenging one so I hoped by reading threads on here I can familiarize myself with a few concepts and not be thrown into a study area I don't know much about. I'm taking AP Calculus hoping it will help me with some things and I took a physics class last year but my teacher was learning the concepts along with us so I had to teach myself and constantly correct the teacher, it was horrible.
