Do you think the same of all/most humanities and social sciences? I’m perfectly OK with philosophy classics and a heavy reading/writing load; I’m not naturally astute in mathematics or programming, but I’m willing to test the waters with CS; what I prefer to avoid is “hard science,” yes, and I’m not ashamed of that.</p>
<p>Cellardweller believes that cognitive science without neuroscience is pseudoscience. In the same vein, would computer science without physics be pseudoscience? I would disagree.</p>
<p>sunmachine - I visited Brown and it just didn’t jump 0ut at me. I’ve heard some criticism of the English department. But strong cogsci/ling, so it’s really not any worse (and perhaps a better) fit than Chicago. Added to the reconsideration pool…</p>
<p>noimagination - You’re right, I am definitely not set on one path for my entire life. I’m interested in too many fields to specialize right now; at the same time, I can also safely say that I doubt I’ll suddenly develop a passion for medicine or lab science. --For economics, or anthropology, well, who knows?</p>
<p>r6l - ClassicRockerDad has delineated exactly what attracts me to cogsci–the abstractions and the philosophical study of thought, information, cognition.</p>
