<p>Something to mention about graduate school. If you go to grad school in science, you usually don’t have to pay anything. Science grad students usually get all their tuition waved and then get paid to either be research assistants or teaching assistants. </p>
<p>I don’t know much about neuro-science but they did get a big national grant not too long ago. Also, chemistry is especially strong at Allegheny. Hubby is a chem grad from Allegheny and is currently the exec. director of one of the top graduate chemistry programs in the country. Opportunities are available to Allegheny grads, even if it is not as well known as some other schools.</p>
