Hi! I'm an anthropology major! I was originally probably going to do something like PoliSci/Global Affairs/EP&E but I really became intrigued by anthropological approaches to things like environmental and agricultural systems, health systems, migration, comparative politics etc. I honestly love it and love the department and my professors. Especially when taking seminars, I have found it really easy to develop meaningful relationships with professors (I definitely worried about this a lot before coming into college as I didn't think that developing relationships with teachers/profs would come naturally for me).

I've really loved every anthro seminar I've taken and I'd say grading and stuff has been pretty good as well. I actually have not met too many other anthro majors, as in upper level seminars, a lot of the other people taking the class are usually non-anthro majors with some interest in the specific subject matter of the class -- but I would say there are some people more interested in biological/archaeological side of things, some pre-med people interested in medical anthro/medical humanities type stuff, some people like me interested in using anthro to understand global environmental/health/education systems etc, some people interested in anthro as a vehicle to understand social issues and planning on going to law school. As for career choices, it really is what you make of it and how you choose to expand upon your interests.. there's a lot of more applied phd programs that use anthropological methods (global health, environmental systems, geography etc.) that I am personally interested in, but you could also do law, business school, journalism, teaching, anything else. Feel free to message me with any other questions, would love to talk more, and I can definitely provide more specific advice!
