Why are there so many biology students? Im a third year physics student and got added to a general STEM first year chat. Almost all of them are bio students. Is that the class people take if the "love science" but are not very smart?

The biggest problems in physics are largely solved, whereas biology is largely uncharted territory which only very recently began transitioning to a hard science with a solid theoretical foundation. Theoretical biology is an exciting place to be right now.

Biology is the most normalfaggy STEM subject (not counting meme sciences like psychology as STEM) so it makes sense that there are a lot of bio students because normals outnumber us.

Generally yes, it's also a more normal field of interest for normalfags who are smart enough to study it, but not smart enough to get into med school. Also bio-sciences in general is a lot cheaper to do than physics, and there is a lot of work in the right specialties

also biology (non meme subfields) and chemistry will become the new big thing in the next few years. more than CS/IT or anything. they are already dumping a lot of money in immunology because of the rona and gene engineering will kick off in few years once it's less stigmatized by brainlets. catalysts will solve many modern problems

Bio, engineering, medicine, and chem are real and help people.
Physics is abstract schizophrenia nowadays. No better than psychology or social science.

Simple:
First, its the most "broad" subject. Second, If you want to go to med school, you take Bio.
So bio is a mix of med-student wannabes, vet-student wannabes, and any biology under the sun, from ecologists who play outside all day, to sea world animal trainers, to molecular bio peeps, to pharmacology/any practice related to human health.
Physics is "narrow" in comparison (by no means am I saying there isn't diversity of subject matter in physics, but it is less)
Also, biological sciences is "in" right now in the way that physics was "in" during WW2 and the cold war. It's the renaissance of medical biology and molecular biology right now, and its akin to the nuclear scientists of the atomic age.

Undergrad bio is easily passed if you can memorize facts. This makes it appealing to the mathematically illiterate who like the benefits of STEM fields

they probably want to go to med school and think bio is the best way to get there

Pre-med, they think they can be doctors.
