    Massachusetts.

    I'm not sure if staying in state is for me, though.
    The above post has a 50% chance of being useless. Potentially. Maybe.

        As for admissions, I don't think having or not having physics on your transcript is going to make a huge difference in whether or not schools will offer you admission.

        Also, I'm assuming you're not talking about AP level physics (since you're limited to 3 for your senior year). So if your degree program at the university you apply to requires physics to graduate, then your high school physics class isn't going to count. However, it could serve as good preparation for college-level physics.

        Also, if your university doesn't require physics in order to graduate, then having a basic understanding of physics, even if it's high school physics, would be highly beneficial in life, especially if you have to develop software for things that incorporate physics such as game development or software that simulates physical events.

        I don't know what "level" of physics your high school physics course is. My high school offered 2 different levels: algebra-based and trig-based. I took the trig-based one my junior year concurrently with trig (that was interesting haha). However, physics at the college level can go all the way up to calculus-based, multi-variable-calc-based physics, and beyond. So that's just a heads-up.

        At my university for example, for the computer science (CS) department, they require a bunch of non-CS courses such as Public Speaking, Business Writing, Physics I and II (calc/multi-variable-calc based), one other natural science course (I did astronomy), and of course a bunch of math courses. However, every university is different and it's up to you to actually look up the degree and admission requirements for each school you plan on applying to.

            in state is the best way to save money.

            honestly i would not reccomend going out of state unless you can get serious scholarships or aid.
