How feasible is a triple major?

Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science. Don't know what after though. I'm majoring in Math and the workload isn't troublesome at all. I've self-studied most the major's curriculum and I was labeled gifted throughout grade school.

You don't want to pay the uni more money. If youu can do a double or triple major in 4 years than go for it. But if you have to stay an extra year just do a minor. It's probably better to try to do internships and/or research, depending on what you want to do after school.

If you are so smart then why are you dumb enough to go to school when you can just learn all the stuff on your own much more quickly and cheaply?

Try it and find out. Come back here and tell us how it went. Make sure to screencap this post.

Maybe. Would the degrees even be useful? I'm doing a Ph.D in Maths after and after looking into it, it'd be pointless. Thinking self-studying the other 2 is better.

Why don't you actually enjoy your life, instead?

Unless you have a scholarship and those extra classes are free you're spending 3x more money than necessary to earn a degree that no one will care about after your first job. You're also going to risk lowering your GPA, which will make you look less impressive to grad schools. There's no reason to do what you're doing. Good for you being so smart though.

Why would you torture yourself? Do physics on your own time; you'll need a masters/PhD for most physics positions. Go math/cs.

look into getting into undergrad research. I'm not sure what undergrad research is like for a field as difficult as math though. if you want to stick with math you could even maybe just ask professors about resources to learn a particular area you are interested in. they will likely let you enroll in grad courses if you are doing well. more classes isn't necessarily the best way to do things, maybe double major or maybe just stick with math and try to go deeper in it.

Pick one to major in and one to minor in. If you feel very strongly about two of them, at most double major.
Don't triple major. It's a waste of time. Instead, do what you can feasibly do given the amount of time you've committed to college (typically 4 years and maybe a summer or two), get as many research internships as possible. Explore your interests in all three subjects by doing interdisciplinary research. That's how I did it.

Yeah, just very stressful, but you will be very grateful to yourself for picking it

Entirely feasible if you don't mind making yourself a debt slave. Hopefully you're smart enough to get most of your courses done at community colleges then finishing the degree at some prestigious school to get a fancier piece of paper with your name on it...
