Best Neuroscience Programs?

<p>I am 100% positive that I want to major in neuroscience, but which colleges have the best programs?</p>

<p>thanks for the link!</p>

<p>For undergraduates, Johns Hopkins or bust. </p>

<p>=)</p>

<p>I've read a few bad things about Johns Hopkins undergrads though... that they only have TA's teaching, and they are so concentrated on their grad students that they neglect their undergrads. Myth or reality?</p>

<p>Hopkins has a surprisingly small undergrad student body (4000-ish?), and an extremely high number of students do research (~70%). They even have a scholarship for undergrad research.</p>

<p>Woodrow</a> Wilson Undergraduate Research Fellowships</p>

<p>If Hopkins is like my school, which I suspect it is, TAs would lead labs and discussion sections rather than doing the actual teaching.</p>

<p>okay then ill reconsider Hopkins!</p>
