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.

fair enough, i kinda did the same thing except i'm dumb and uncreative so i'm trying to get into a different area of tech (IT/network engineering)

well i wish you luck and stand by my assertion that you should be asking yourself that question instead, because if it were me i'd be miserable studying something i'm not interested in just because internet people said it had cool people. after all you can socialize with people outside your major

this isn't really and answer because idk if it has cool people, i'm just choosing it because i like it, but if i were to go back to college i'd study anthropology

I plan to do both. I've learned that I am not the type of person to enjoy life if I have to suffer through hours of it in an environment I hate (software engineering environment) and then spend the rest of my free time in environments I like
