Simon Cozzens

Louisville, Kentucky
Davenport College
BS in cognitive science

Why is cognitive science compelling for you?

It allows me to study a lot of different things that I like at the same time, while having them all comment on each other. I really like philosophy, psychology interests me, and anthropology  interests me. Cognitive science is a way to take all of those and then also apply computer science and neuroscience to them.

What are you going to do next?

I am going on a road trip this summer with my brother, and I guess then I’ll start looking for a job or an internship or… we’ll see.

What was the hardest part of college?

Realizing that I have to be the one to make all the decisions in my own life, independent of what other people want me to do.
