<p>Interesting - I’d never heard of the “sophomore exploratory” option, but sounds like a great way to approach something a bit risky. </p>
<p>One of my questions about Linguistics at MIT is whether there are enough students studying it to have good class discussions and others to study with. I know the number of majors is typically small. It can get a bit old being in class with the same 3 or 4 students all the time in an extremely small program. It sounds as though there are a good number of students in the classes even if it isn’t their major if there are 20 in semantics. Is 24 a relatively popular HASS concentration?</p>
