<p>No weeder classes (doesn’t mean you might not find a class hard, though).</p>
<p>Grades are pretty constant across the college itself.</p>
<p>It’s a smaller major, but a lot of students take classes (folks from the other sciences, pre-med, just for fun). I think it’s the most fun of the science faculties. </p>
<p>Extremely easy to get involved with research because the only folks professors can rely on for help are the Vassar students, but it’s not typically not corporate sponsored, so labs are smaller, no grad students, etc. Look at the chemistry projects on the ursi website for more info on the kind of research being done by students (in faculty labs): [URSI</a> Project Browser](<a href=“http://ursi.vassar.edu/projects/index.html?dept=Chemistry]URSI”>http://ursi.vassar.edu/projects/index.html?dept=Chemistry)</p>
<p>Also, they like to play with liquid nitrogen a lot: [YouTube</a> - Chemistry Magic Show](<a href=“Chemistry Magic Show - YouTube”>Chemistry Magic Show - YouTube)</p>
<p>When I was a student, every friday afternoon the chem department would make liquid nitrogen ice cream, open to anyone.</p>
