All of the math and physics majors at my university were among the most deep-thinkers that I'd met there, and none of them gave me the impression that they'd behave like such shallow a-holes!

The computer science majors that I met during some of my required programming coursework? Different story. I did great in those classes, but just hearing them talk made me decide to never switch my major to CS. I figured that working around them for years at a job would drive me nuts.
