I’m planning to pursue a bachelors degree in biochemistry. I heard that liberal arts colleges aren’t too bad at churning out science majors, so I was wondering what good options there are for my desired major. I honestly would like to be in or near a large city, growing up in one…
This sort of information is easily available if you google. I’m puzzled by your comment “liberal arts colleges aren’t too bad at churning out science majors” – do you really want to be churned out? Most students look to LACs for a more personal, individualized education.
Look into the Claremonts, Swarthmore, Haverford, Oberlin, Reed . . .

Wesleyan. Steps away from a revitalized business district.
Macalester if you want urban. Lots of internship opportunities in the twin cities.
The revitalization is indeed impressive.
The beautiful waterfront around the crew boathouse shouldn’t be missed by prospective students.

Look into Brandeis, which is a small research university with an esteemed Biochem program. The size of the school is comparable to an LAC (albeit on the larger side) but with the resources of a major research university. The location near Boston is an advatage as well.
