a questions about Chem Major at Occidental

<p>My son is interested in a Chem Major, and I have read in one of the sources out there that Occidental had a really good Chem Department. I would be really interested in anyone's experiences in that major there. </p>

<p>I think that this would be a good fit for my son, because even if he changes his mind (which I fully expect happening during his college years) there are many other academic choices for him at Occidental</p>

<p>thanks in advance</p>

<p>Hello, </p>

<p>Sorry no one has commented so far! I'm not a chem major myself (I'm actually staying as far as possible from the sciences -- except for my requirements), I live with a chemistry major. He is always busy, he TA's a class, and has done research with professors. He has never had a bad word to say about the department, as far as I've heard. Unfortunately, thats the extent of my knowledge on chemistry, but if you had any other questions about Oxy I'd be happy to help! =)</p>

<p>Jackie,</p>

<p>Thank you for the information. My son is really enjoying his Sciences but really needs more exposure to the liberal arts. I really like what I have heard about Oxy, and we are looking forward to our visit this Spring. If I have any questions I will ask.</p>

<p>Thank you</p>
