<p>How is the chemistry department at UCSD? I've heard so much about biochem and bio and not so much about just regular chem. Is there research opport? Do you think it was a very extensive program? How do you compare it to other uc schools like ucsb and etc...?</p>
<ul>
<li>yes, it's very good</li>
<li>that's because chem majors are vastly outnumbered by bio majors</li>
<li>yes, many</li>
<li>yes, many opportunities for interdisciplinary research</li>
<li>probably 2nd-best of all the UCs, with the exception of UC Berkeley (which is among the top programs in the country)</li>
