Which college majors have the coolest people? Low ego, fun to hang with and genuine interest in the studies. Especially in graduate programs (hexbear.net)

Planning on going back to school purely for fun in a few years. I would love to study math/CS/physics/eng but that's out of the question because I hate the people that usually study that

Biology or chemistry seems cool too but the pre-med students are always annoying too, and the grad students too sometimes if they have grandious ideals about curing cancer or becoming a neuroscientist or something

So I'm considering humanities maybe, but maybe one that does not have lots of liberal vibes though like English, sociology, psychology, etc.

The field still has its issues with respectful settler indigenous relations, if such a thing is possible lmao. It's better than it used to be and yeah, a lot of past research has just been thrown out as a result but the anthropologists I have met are really trying to study other cultures without harming them. Learning how to acknowledge and combat your own biases is taught in anth 101 and retaught in every following class.
