<p>I'm currently a high school senior planning on majoring in neuroscience next year. I've heard Brown is good, but the open curriculum makes me a bit wary. Cornell seems really nice, but the workload seems like it might be too intense for me. I'm really fond of Dartmouth, but I'm afraid their isn't much to do off-campus other than outdoorsy activities and I'm not too keen on the cold weather. I'm also afraid U of Chicago might be too intense and too cold.</p>
<p>Some other schools I'm considering include</p>
<p>Northwestern
Northeastern
Boston University
Bucknell
Johns Hopkins</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure I'd be happy with the neuroscience programs at any of these schools, but I don't know about anything else. Is one of these a good school that has stellar faculty, a friendly student body, good (but not overwhelming) classes, a moderate climate, and a fun surrounding town/social life?</p>
<p>Please help!</p>
