<p>I have to choose between Penn and Johns Hopkins.</p>
<p>I probably will major in Biochemistry, but I would also like to take classes in other areas, and not feel that the school is lacking. As I'm not too sure of my major, I don't want the college to be too science oriented. I might even want to double major in psychology. </p>
<p>I'm having a hard time figuring out which of those to choose, because they are both located in great cities; and because they are both obviously very prestigious colleges.</p>
<p>Can anyone help me? Personal anecdotes are welcome. Thanks!</p>
<p>I’m planning on majoring in Biochemistry too. Penn makes it pretty easy to double major, and the College is definitely not too “sciency”. Penn seems to be more well-rounded than JHU in that they have so many non-science/pre-med students. On the Biochemistry major webpage, they even have sample schedules based on how much science you want:</p>

<p>I’m not sure about the JHU Biochemistry major, but I know that Penn’s Biochemistry major focuses more on the chemistry part than the biology part. JHU will likely be more biology-focused, but I don’t know much about it.</p>
<p>haha well tell me why, itsinreach!</p>
<p>Well, first of all, Philadelphia > Baltimore.</p>
<p>And you sound like you would enjoy the interdisciplinary focus at Penn!</p>
<p>If you want to do interdisciplinary, Penn is top!</p>
