Colleges and Universities A-Z Bard College

<p>Hi, </p>

<p>I was wondering if anyone can comment on the philosophy department at Bard (being that I am planning on majoring in Philosophy).</p>

<p>Second, If anyone is familiar with Reed college please feel free to do a comparison. Any advice is much appreciated. Just so you know where I am coming from, I am very interested in a school with a culture of “living the life of the mind,” as it were. </p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>I’m trying to decide between Bard and Reed, and one of my top possible majors is philosophy. so I would also find any information regarding the above helpful.</p>

<p>Here’s philosophy at Bard:</p>

<p>And here’s philosophy at Vassar:</p>

<p>[Home</a> - Philosophy - Vassar College](<a href=“http://philosophy.vassar.edu/index.html]Home”>http://philosophy.vassar.edu/index.html)</p>

<p>No first-hand experience — a good place to get started would be to contact the philosophy chair at each school.</p>

<p>Finally, not to be wishy-washy, but I don’t think you could go wrong at Bard, Reed, or Vassar. All are stellar schools. However, I think you’d likely find Bard and Reed a bit more discussion-oriented outside the classroom.</p>

<p>It looks as if the OP, who started this thread last April, decided on Vassar.</p>
