<p>To be honest, that issue with my co-op payment didn’t have to do with the BNS department split - it was about my co-op advisor disappearing and not responding to any emails and the fact that y co-op funding is split (though over two different departments than BNS).
Anyway, I really enjoy BNS here. Part of the reason I chose Northeastern is that I liked that the program actually is interdisciplinary. A lot of schools’ neuroscience programs seemed like a biology program with a few neuroscience classes tacked on. The way the program is currently set up, ther is also a lot of flexibility to tailor the program to our interests, whether that be animal research or Pre-med. (Though, as WiseGuy pointed out, they’ve been in the process of trying to restructure the curriculum.) Last fall I got to take a graduate course on Functional Human Neuroanatomy for one of my requirements.</p>
