im no bio major, havent taken a bio class, but i know people who are (bio is the 2nd or 3rd most popular major here, as is elsewhere)…here’s what i know



How rigor is the major.

pretty rigorous, the early MCDB/EEMB classes are known to be pretty big barriers to entry, but there’s always a bunch of people who breeze pass them too



How big is the class size.

gigantic. enough said…just be thankful youre not a psych major, where high level UD classes have 300+ students in them. in bio, some of the UD classes have 100+ students in them, so you can see how big the major is.



How is the undergrad teaching - Research opportunities at Undergrad level.

i have no idea, but judging by the size of the major and the fact that most people know that bio is very conducive to undergraduate research means that it’s hard to get any kind of research experience in the field.



How hard is the grading.

no idea
