IUPUI (Indiana University Purdue University - Indianapolis), because they've got several options for neuroscience graduate programs, and its in-state, so my undergrad tuition is basically free.

my primary goal is to study neuroscience and pharmacology because through the years, my interest in the subject has only increased, and i've never been bored with it. so my undergrad studies of psychology (behavioral neuroscience) and chemistry are just to give me the knowledge and credentials to get into one of those graduate programs.
 
it's quite amusing to me that people in science, math, and comp sci (mainly) have a tendency to look down on non-'hardcore' majors as soft when writing well and constructing a good argument is extremely difficult and much more useful in "the real world."

sure, it's easier to slide by with a 'B' on a mediocre paper but getting an 'A' can be damn hard unless you're an exceptional writer.

Lamar University, Beaumont, Texas.
Currently Undeclared, however soon to be Business or Pre-Pharm.

Any BLers in the East Texas, Houston area PM me, as i also dont know any in real life.
 
I'm studying Mathematics, with a concentration in the field of topology. I do believe Mr. Russell said it best:

"Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty — a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of painting or music, yet sublimely pure, and capable of a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show"- Bertrand Russell
 
I find it interesting theres others on here from Indiana going to "ewwy pooy" (IUPUI), BSU's only an hour away from there.

Home State - Indiana
College - Ball State University (David Letterman anyone?)
Major - Wildlife Biology
Post Graduation - Perhaps a Ph'd, I really just wanna do research involving herpetology and/or ornithology.
 
Home state/country -- Maryland, USA

College -- Earlham College (in Richmond, Indiana)

Major -- International studies, I'm thinking, and a minor in journalism.

Post-graduation plans -- No clue yet, but I seriously doubt I'll be headed to graduate school anytime soon. I'll almost certainly leave the U.S. for somewhere more interesting. Maybe somewhere in the Middle East.

BSU sucks. I spent 3 semesters there. The only thing it has on IUPUI is the long weekends (thursday through tuesday) filled with many, many parties.
 
What sucks about it? It has a better greek life, more majors, etc. , I mean the list goes on; I'm not bragging about my school I'm just trying to see what you mean? I'm sure personal preference has something to do with it, I know I would rather not go to college smack dab in the middle of downtown Indianapolis.
 
home state: North Carolina
school: UNCG (Graduated May 2007)
major: English
~~~
Returned to school because English degree is rather worthless in my area, apparently, at least if you don't want to teach. SO...

school: Guilford College (started this semester)
major: Computing and Information Technology (emphasis in programming, with a minor in mathematics)

Post-Grad plans: To either get a nice cushy programming job, or to truck on for a phD somewhere, maybe study physics or library science. Plan to get out of North Carolina.
 
First off, sorry i didn't see the merged thread first. To reiterate, i'm originally from Arkansas and now attend University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. F-U-C-K O-H-I-O! Haha, i think i'm severely outnumbered from the looks of it. Anyone in the Detroit Metro area PM me if you would like to meet up, particularly people in Ann Arbor particularly UM students. it would be really cool to meet some BLers from my school
