We do algebra 2, precalc, geo, calc! Also science goes bio, physics, chem, electives, but I’m taking an extra class next year. Not premed necessarily, and I’m definitely not set in it. I would prefer a school that where I don’t have to apply to a specific major. I think I might actually prefer going out of state (east coast?)… I think liberal arts would probably be what I want, but really anything that doesn’t force me
Do you like the idea of having to pursue multiple subjects through a core curriculum or distribution requirements, or do you want to be able to focus in on one subject without having to take anything else?
I prefer either no core curriculum or a very limited one!
Do you feel the need to meet with your professors regularly, or are you more interested in self-directed learning?
I like both— maybe a mix of the two?
Do you like speaking up in class, or are you more of the silent type?
I usually participate a lot!
Do you want to live on campus, or are you excited to get an apartment as soon as possible?
Live on campus all 4 years!!!
Do you like small, close-knit communities, or are you more energized when you are part of a broader community?
I think I don’t want it to be too small, but definitely not a giant community where I wouldn’t know anyone. I’m thinking 500-2500 per grade for size
Do you want to be able to go home regularly? (When considering this, be sure to take into account the cost of travel, not just the proximity of a train station, bus depot, or airport.)
Not important
Would you feel bummed if there wasn’t a big party to go to on a Saturday night?
Definitely not
Are you interested in Greek life?
Nope
Do you want to be able to get an internship close to campus, or is that something you’d be willing to have to go somewhere else for in the summers?
Ideally I’d be able to do either— but if there’s nothing close by that’s fine.
Most importantly, what do you want to study? (Where you apply must offer what you want to study.)
Biology, but could also have a minor in French? I like options so probably a liberal arts school?
