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.

Physics people are nothing like those other ones if you avoid the "top tier" universities. Physics people are usually very chill nerds who smoke lots of weed and tend to be deeply interested in the subject for itself not for career reasons (outside top tier - I mean I assume I went to a mid-low tier at best uni lol).
