[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just curious - how much exposure does she have to neuroscience? That seems like a pretty narrow focus. A semester? A summer internship? Particularly because they are both SLACs, I would not factor the neuroscience part much into the equation.

Where do you live? Which campus seems like a better fit? I know Williams fairly well and very little about Pomona except a somewhat odd acquaintance in their 50s who went there (and I am wise enough not to let that influence my opinion). They seem like pretty different places other than size and prestige.[/quote]
In many ways they're pretty similar. Top LACs known for their good financial aid, diversity, high quality math departments, interest in global engagement (Pomona and Williams both currently have a Global emphasis in their strategic plans, Pomona has the Cambridge Program and Downing Scholars, Williams has WEPO and Oxford fellowships), both have a pretty big outdoors community/focus. The differences are mostly tutorial versus consortium, but the similarities are very much there, because Pomona, in general, is modeled after a New England college.

I don't really think neuro is that narrow. It's a field that intersects computer science, statistics, biology, chemistry, and mathematics. It's a bit of a juiced up biology degree. [/quote]
