“Neuroscience is such an interesting major! The capstone aspect is forcing me to step out of my comfort zone to engage in more research experience rather than just clinical experience. I love it so much and plan to do so much with it”

“great major, cant say much about upperdivs but general courses and prereqs were relatively fine and manageable. hardest part is finding a lab to do research with and managing your time with extracurriculars and keeping a good gpa.”
