Who's smarter?

I don't know what episode it discusses Willow's major, but I would sure love to know 😀

Willow was more into computer science vs. Fred's study of Physics....plus, as far as I recall, Willow didn't seem to be taking any Computer classes in college...or science as far as we've seen. In most of S4 & 5 we see her taking general education type requirements..which is what I did while I was still undecided on a major to see what it was I wanted to do with the rest of my life 😀

Although with the creation of Fred, the female science geek became something of a cliche in Jossverse.

2 makes a cliche?

In "The Freshman" Willow explains to Buffy that Psych can be taken as the necessary science, and Willow takes it, suggesting she doesn't do physics, chem or bio. She also takes English (mentions shes has an English paper in early in S4) and I can't remember what else. As far as im aware she doesn't take the "classic" sciences.
 
I remember Willow referring to the Chem Lab on Buffy's Birthday in Season 4, so its obvious that Willow has Chemistry. Unless shes just using it for potions and such.

As for Willow's choices of classes, I think she was trying to become well-rounded and cultured, not just typical smart in a certain subject.
 
After High School, Willow loses her "science geek" label and delves much deeper into her study of Wicca. I think Willow after high school can be classified as many things, but a geek isn't one of them.
 
Good Point! (BTW Cordelia, after reading your other posts, you such a SCHWETTIE! :bounce: )

Its true that shes not really a nerd anymore, I mean she even mentions this in Two To Go I believe, about how people picked up her up until college. Because I mean even nerds are still pick on in college.

Plus she also mentions that she actually learns things in college and it has such a learning atmosphere, guessing she just decided to take advantage of the curriculum and try other classes instead of typical Calculus or Physics 101.

Or maybe she was just gonna get one of those General Education Degrees, because I mean they don't grant a B.S. in 'Saving the world' or a 'Friend of the Slayer/Scooby Gang Member' Degree. (Also don't you think she'd be quite peeved, since she spent all four years there, but UC-Sunnydale got destroyed and she probably never got to graduate.)

Finally!!! You Rock! :D
Willow was described as a female science geek . . . just like Fred. Yes, she took other course in college, but the show had pointed out that her major interest and specialty was science.
