I'm going to be a first time college freshman this fall majoring in chemical engineering. Lately I have also been looking at computer science as well and might want to double major. Is that good idea? Anyone who has done those two majors or has double majored in general please reply!!!

Typically engineering degrees have many requirements, making it difficult to double major. Are there courses that overlap, meeting the requirements for both subjects?

Salute monsieur. Please do not mind me, I am inspector Clause, the VII. A good double majors for you would be Materials Science (a science of engineering materials: polymer, plastic, elastic, chemical composition, chemical etching, chemical mixing, metal, stainless steel, measurement of grain size in metal, ductility, brittle, etc) And Environmental Engineer (the engineering manager in care of chemical plants, electrical HVAC in a chemical plants, mechanical pumps in a chemical plants, etc., in care of pumps and chemical tanks, output input of fluid mechanics, the flow of chemical input and output, NaCl, Nitric Acid, Acid, hydrogen, nitrogen, etc.) Just do not touch everything you like to touch without gloves or you will go bald!

well. chemical engineering is really hard just by itself.. so if you think you can handle all the stress of school works , double your time studying. then a double major would be great. try it for one sem, if it works for you, then go ahead...
if you think that is too much to handle for you, then finish one degree first then after do the other.

good luck! it's gonna a hell of four years for you. some people can definitely do it, but they are not only smart, but they are also extremely deticated. if you plan to have 0 social life for the next 4 to 5 years of your life, then go for it. i came out of college with an electrical engineering degree, and i have worked my butt off for 4 years, it wasn't easy to get it. so good luck on your two majors.

You're setting yourself up for a very steep uphill battle.
Chemical Engineering itself turns into a five-year program for most students......it's pretty challenging in itself.
As one myself, I've known others to double degree.....but it did take five years to get the two degrees.
Good Luck
