I’ve been accepted at both schools. I am very interested in cognitive neuroscience, and REALLY want the chance to begin doing research as a freshman. Could you please give me a breakdown of the similarities and differences in:

-Research opportunities for undergrads and underclassmen
-Strength of neuroscience and cognitive science programs
-Difficulty of pre-med cirriculum
-Intellectualism on campus
-Overall atmosphere

between these two schools? Thanks a lot. I have my own opinion, but I’d love to hear from other people. (I cross-posted this on the Wash U forum too).
