Neuroscience is an interesting yet challenging major. Many of the neuroscience classes here at Emory grade primarily on Exams, giving little to no homework. The information taught in these classes are particularly interesting, making each lecture feel rewarding. The only negative is the difficulty of understanding concepts taught.
In full honestly, I think Neuroscience is just one of those things you genuinely got to enjoy/love if you want/plan to study it. It is very difficult and (in a sense) niche field of study that limits your options to essentially a post-graduate program.
