Chemistry is scheduled to move to the new ‘Bridge’ building this winter.

Don’t know any chem majors but do know physics & math majors, all of whom are very happy with their experience so far (end of 2nd year). I know that the college gives great support- my D2 is doing physics and got an URSI research grant for summer after 1st year, was sent to the national conference (paid by the school) where their work was presented, and already has a publication in a peer-reviewed journal . She is spending this summer at an REU doing (paid) physics research at UChicago. She is getting great grad school advice as well.

The feedback on the 3+2 with Dartmouth (D2 looked at doing it, but decided not to, though she may do engineering in grad school) is that there is a bit of having to prove yourself with the Dartmouth boys in the program when you first arrive (esp if you are female)- but that the profs are great and the experience is good overall.
