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 no college folks I've met in SF/Oakland and active in the arts/music/party and social activism scenes were typically very cool!

If you're doing this in the bay, study whatever you want and check out the Berkeley student coops. You don't have to go to UC Berkeley to live in most of the houses. The math/cs/physics people there were the coolest I'd ever met.
