"In neurobiology, we learn how humans and animals behave, and the tie between that behavior and the brain — what our brain responses make us feel at the non-scientific level. The tie between the scientific details and the actual behavior of humans and animals is what draws me to neurobiology."

"In psychology, the universe of possibilities is endless. I wanted to pursue a psychology degree to go into the field of behavioral economics, analyzing consumer trends and investment. But I also want a deeper understanding of why I am me  — why I see the world in the ways that do. (There, the cliché, I said it!)"

"Week two of my first astronomy course, I was hooked. I always look for puzzles, and astronomy had enough really tricky puzzles that I could tackle. But it also gave me a perspective. I like the fact that you can’t maintain an ego while studying astronomy, while facing the Universe."

“Statistics is a small department, a relatively small community, so students get close to each other. My classmates were my best friends as well as my best study buddies. There’s a great faculty-to-student ratio, and the professors are really supportive throughout the year.”
