<p>So I'm struggling to decide which school to attend next year, and was wondering if occidental is a good choice for pre-med? Like how rigorous are the courses and upper divisions as a biology major here, and are there a lot of research opportunities? I love the college itself, it's actually the only college I've visited since I live close, and I'm now deciding between oxy, ucla, and uc berkeley. Any input/reassurances would be greatly appreciated, thanks!</p>
<p>Hi there! Oxy has a very strong pre-med program, access to research, and great, rigorous classes in biology as well as other science department. I highly encourage you to reach out to our Pre-Health Advisor Angela Wood at <a href=“mailto:awood@oxy.edu”>awood@oxy.edu</a> for more information!</p>
<p>Thanks Sarah, I’ve contacted her and am waiting for a response!</p>
