I think stuy (and i assume bx sci is similar), while known as a math/science school, is great in all departments - in fact some would argue that the teaching quality of the english dept is better than, say, physics, but with a comparable level of courses. I know a lot of people in stuy that say math is not their thing at all but there are plenty of other things in terms of courses and activities that are humanities related.

On the other hand, if you know you’re a humanities person, then Townsend Harris might probably be a better choice from what I’ve heard. I think Stuy is a bit like MIT – its a math/science magnet but it has other great programs as well as people with diverse academic interests
