<p>I am a cell bio major and have taken a bunch of medieval civ and lit classes, and it is true that there are a lot of large lectures. However, most will have smaller recitations. However, most professors are very willing to meet with students and will always answer questions. What I like most is the quality of the professors. In one class, we had 10 different lecturers come in and talk about different aspects of developmental biology in the context of the research they are doing now. I now work in the lab of one of those lecturers.
Also, there will be a group of students that are in every one of your D major classes, so it is very easy to form bonds.</p>
<p>Of the intro classes, Bio (from what I hear, I got a 5 on the AP) is the only really bad intro class, which you won't have to worry about.</p>
