I'm leaning towards commerce but i was curious as to whether science can complement my commerce degree and how?
Im doing it because im also interested in science however i feel it might be a waste if it wont help me in commerce

Depends which major you do for science. Math or Stats (and possibly Physics) are excellent majors and will complement commerce brilliantly. Most employers realise that they have to retrain you when you start, so someone with a math or stats major will be assumed to be a numbers person who will not struggle.
Other science majors will be less relevant and hence less complementary.

No. Anything to do with the human mind (psych, economics, anthropology etc) is not a science but a vague series of generalisations and estimates.

I have to say maths (and stats) is probs the best with comm.

Psych is just for people that did the degree because they could trying to justify their science degree.

Or they do it because they're interested and don't expect it to help at all.

i acualy thought a psych major would go nicely with a comm degree :(
It will, but in the same way that learning a language or going on exchange will; it'll add to your life and interpersonal skills. It won't actually complement your studies.
