<p>When I was deciding where to go, I was hesitant because I thought the sciences weren't that great. I was wrong though- the sciences are one of the stronger areas. The specific department you're interested in matters. Biology is probably the best, and physics the weakest. Since you mentioned chem majors, I'm gonna guess that's what you are. Chemistry is pretty good, they give specific attention to chem majors more than someone who is just premed- they really want you to do well. Some of the facilities really should be updated- i've heard something about the science building being the next major construction project but who knows. I'm happy here with the sciences. We aren't competitive here, which is difficult to find in many science programs, and it really does make a difference in your stress and happiness level. </p>
<p>Good call on the chicken madness btw. Clearly you know what you're doing.</p>
