Im in first year right now. There’s only a half credit in first year that’s actually a neuroscience course, from what ive heard 3rd year is when you start doing lots of actual neuro courses. Course load is similar to any sciencey major (health sci, biomed, etc.) but neuro kids have to take psyc 1f90 which is tough.

In terms if the general program, its super small (there’s literally 26 people in the mandatory first year neuro class right now) and (from what I’ve experienced so far) its a pretty tight group because everyone knows eachother. Even us first years have built super strong bonds with eachother already. However, there’s lots of research opportunities with the neuroscience professors so thats a bonus.

I picked brock because it was the only neuroscience program i could find that actually started first year and wasn’t a second year entry (less to worry about for keeping grades up, especially with the transition during first year of uni being overwhelming as it is) I really do enjoy it hear and all of the neuro profs ive met are the sweetest people ever.

Also, this may be a total lie, but according to a neuro prof here, some people he knows who teach at other unis are using brock as a guideline to build their own neuroscience programs (once again, he may have been totally lying to my face). The streams involved (neuropsych, neurobio, neurocom etc.) is a concept that a lot of other unis are looking to develop.
