How's the bio major at Penn?

<p>How helpful is the faculty? Any good research opportunities for undergrads? Anything else prospective students should know?
Thanks</p>

<p>uh, very helpful if you approach them...</p>

<p>you can do research more or less the moment you arrive, if you're so inclined...</p>

<p>and whether premed or not, the proximity of the med school / hospital / vet school to the biology department (as in adjacent buildings) allows for a lot of cooperation in research, which allows students to do all kinds of work not always possible at other schools...</p>
