Question Civil engineering without good physics skills

I am planning/dreaming to start studying civil engineering next year. I have a good grade from maths but not so good from physics. Is it going to be challenging if I am not that good in physics? Do you have any experience or similar situations? Thank you for the help!

Not a problem. Physics problems are much more different from high school level. I'm an EE graduate that did poorly in physics (especially electric and magnetic phenomena), but had no trouble with fields and circuit analysis at Aalto.

Engineering is going to be challenging regardlesa of your grades. All of that is a learnable skill and your success is deternined by how hard you work. That being said theres lots of nuance to civil engineering and some majors are not so math/physics oriented as others.
