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.

why don't you pick something yourself based on your innate interests

well sure i get the sentiment, but surely you have interests outside of that

you say you're doing it purely for fun, but what things would you consider fun to study

[–] GaveUp@hexbear.net 3 points 2 days ago

but what things would you consider fun to study

sociology and history mostly but tbh I could always just read a book or something. The social environment is a pretty significant part of the academic experience

I do, but none of them are academic subjects you know? If it's not one of those aforementioned fields of study, I would probably enjoy studying and learning just about anything deeply in an academic environment, and so the social environment then becomes the largest factor
