<p>The econ/polisci major strikes me as partly interesting, and something that would be aptly suited for my intellectual interests (or at least I think haha). However, a quick browse on wikicu.org has me a little worried. Due to the popularity of the major, the person who wrote the article asserted that you'll really only get personal attention with your professor as a SENIOR--- if you're lucky.</p>

<p>Now given this and the fact that Law School is something that I'm highly considering, is it ill-advised to major in something where the professor will never really get to know you? And beyond just EconPoli-sci, how common/how do students to get to know their professors very well? Are research opportunities in economics readily availabe to those who seek it? Thanks!</p>

<p>That's one person's opinion in WikiCU.</p>

<p>If you really want to talk to your professor you can see them after class/during office hours.</p>

<p>There are also seminars that you can take (including during your sophomore and junior years).</p>
