Chemical bio engineering!
There isn't much information on this forum about chemi/bio engineering. I've been thinking of how much better it is than just doing chemical engineering? I do like biology, but I'm not sure if having the biology advantage is that much better than just a Chem eng degree.

Anyone who can tell me why they ended up picking Chem/bio over just Chem would really help! Thanks a lot!

I chose chem/bio because I'm more interested in the research side of things. In straight Chem, you'll learn about stuff like process control, reactor design, thermodynamics, heat transfer, mass transfer, and polymers. With chem/bio, you also get to take some microbiology courses, anatomy and physiology, and a bioengineering lab course. I've found that I wouldn't have been as interested in doing straight chem.
