<p>Not sure about your program at other schools but Carleton has a very strong Bio and cognitive science program (my friend raves about the professors). Just going by the schools I’d go for Chicago. I’ve studied there briefly and there’s NOTHING like the intellectual atmosphere I found there and this is speaking as a Carleton student. The culture there is really one of a kind and it will bend your mind. It has a very good Core and I personally believe it gives a more rigorous and well rounded liberal arts education than what I’ve experienced here.</p>
