<p>Originaloog, While I totally agree with you that students need to investigate both the breadth and depth of departments they are considering, Knox actually has very decent programs in biology and chemistry for an LAC of its size, with excellent research facilities. They do not have "less than 4" faculty members in the sciences. They also have a strong pre-med placement record, and a great early admissions guarantee with Rush Medical College. I do agree with you, however, about their physics department - it is weaker than the bio and chemistry departments.</p>
