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.

kinda rambling sorry: stats rec was mostly for employability; that's why i rec it as minor/double major, it's generally added onto something else like urban development (urban soc) ecological sciences (eco soc) etc. idk i wouldn't have minded majoring in it myself but i wanted to graduated on time so a minor is what i did. and as far as it's 'worth tuition' idk completely subjective depends on how much you enjoy what you're studying i guess since you said it's mostly for passion/fun and not necessarily for employment. not sure what your situation is but you might be able to audit classes a la carte and see what you really enjoy before committing.

fwiw most of my soc professors were some form of queer marxists
