From the several friends I have in the chemistry department I would say that the department is medium-sized by Macalester / LAC standards. Of course chemistry is a strenuous field anywhere but I have heard tales of how particularly difficult some the class at Macalester can be. That being said the department encourages collaboration rather than competition. On the topic of research opportunities, I have heard of many majors working on research with professors over summer and several more that have gone on to graduate programs of all sorts.
