Biology(Biological Sciences)

“I chose biology so I could study dentistry later in dental school. It is a good starting point for people who want to lean into the medical field or researching. My least favourite part is the chemistry courses I have to take. And my favourite parts are that I can learn different perspectives of biology. Internships and research opportunities are relatively easy to find within this field. I think biology made me realize that maybe I didn’t like biology that much in general, it was just me trying to find a way to learn dentistry. It is somewhat painful. I wish I took more time to see what I actually wanted in life and career. As of right now. There are a lot of things that I would love to do if I didn’t choose biology. However, I think biology will set someone’s future on a great path.”

“The professors were great. Classes may be difficult but you will get through it!”

“Study hard. Worry less. Everything will turn out ok”

“I am actually majoring in computational biology but I feel like it is pretty similar in the requirements and I feel like its super fun with problem solving as well as real-world impact.”

“its a really good major if you are looking to go into health”

“If you enjoy conducting research in the laboratory and constantly exploring new fields and making new discoveries, biology would be a perfect fit for you. It is a discipline that explores new frontiers in rigor and logic. But if you don't like staying in the laboratory for a long time doing the same narrow field of things repeatedly, or if you are more eager to communicate and connect with different people every day, biology may not be suitable for you.”

“very analysis and knowledge based with lot of lab work needed. There are many potential future careers to pursue.”

“Biology is a truly fascinating major where you get to learn about the natural world. It prepares you for a career in research, medicine, and it’s really flexible”

“Open up avenues to several careers and also prepares you for medical school. Plethora of research opportunities”

“So far my major has been somewhat interesting but lots of prerequisites that I’m not necessarily interested in. Chemistry has been difficult but I surprisingly enjoy it more than bio classes”

“If you want to major in this, it generally should be because you have specific research interests within biology as a whole. Be prepared to study hard, and become a jack of all trades.”

“I am majoring specifically in microbiology. There’s a lot of concept and requires understanding and memorization. I would recommend it for any premed as the major requirements aligns perfectly with med school.”

“It is a lot of information to memorize and you definitely have to study a lot but I think the content is interesting”

“General biology is a very time consuming major, as it requires courses across biology, chemistry, calculus, physics, and others (especially if you’re on a pre-med track). Be prepared to use Quizlet a ton as you’ll be memorizing a ton of names and concepts, as well as formulas. Overall I’d say the opportunity cost is good if you’re prepared to spend a lot of time studying. One thing to watch out for is career application because the bio industry is so wide, you want to know what you’re aiming for (especially if you’re going into med).”

“It is okay. Just for pre meds. Gets it over with. It gets all the requirements done to be honest. College is a scam.”
