<p>jumble...thanks for this different perspective...the points that you make about double majoring seem very valid, and I can definitely see how double/triple majoring would eliminate that flexibility so unique to the school...thanks for the insight =)</p>
<p>If I get into Wes I'm going to major in Economics.</p>
<p>mathematics, hahah.</p>
<p>I'd like to be able to do some film studies though.</p>
<p>Either Astronomy or English.</p>
<p>hahaha
NEUROSCIENCE~</p>
<p>Anyone know how hard it is to major in science and still go abroad for a semester? Does that get in the way of meeting requirements at home? Thanks.</p>
<p>it's easy to go abroad majoring in science if you plan ahead. make sure you take the recommended track for the major, and if you can get a class or two approved for major credit abroad, you're in even better shape. abroad is doable even with neuro, which has the most requirements. just stay on top of things</p>
<p>agreed, you just have to plan it well. i have plenty of science major friends who have gone abroad. there are also lots of really cool programs for science majors abroad that will help you get major credit. (you can look at Wesleyan</a> University: Office of International Studies for the programs, some say that they are restricted to science majors only, etc.)</p>
<p>Chem or Physics. And then a lot of theatre classes.</p>
<p>And thanks for the stuff about science majors going abroad. That's been a concern of mine (not just for Wesleyan, but for all my schools).</p>
<p>nice. thanks jumble_j! now all i have to do is get in (i was deferred to EDII)</p>
<p>Film Studies! :)</p>
<p>If you're interested in math, there are two really cool math abroad programs - one in Budapest (which I went on last semester! yaaaay! I'd totally recommend it) and one in Moscow. And of course there's always enrolling directly at a foreign university that is English speaking - or if you speak a foreign language fluently. But yeah, I agree with the others. Going abroad can be difficult for science majors, especially if you don't plan ahead and start taking required course sequences, even starting from your freshman year. (It always annoyed me that everyone kept telling me "Don't worry, take whatever you're interested freshman year, don't think about what you have to take yet," when in reality, depending on your major, you kind of do need to start planning.) It should be easier with Chem/Physics than with MB&B/Neuroscience though. And it's definitely possible, regardless.</p>
