<p>Philosophy Major - NYU, Chicago, UVA, Cornell, Yale or Georgetown? </p>

<hr>

<p>Hello everyone,
Out of these colleges which one would you encourage for an aspiring philosophy undergraduate student? I know NYU has a top-notch graduate reputation, but i'm still unsure on how that reflects on the UG education. </p>

<p>Could any of you offer me any insight on this and help me choose the best suited universities from this list?</p>

<p>I would go for Yale.</p>

<p>really? i understand that princeton is supposed to be best among hyp for philo....</p>

<p>Chicago- John Dewey taught there! (There aren't many legendary American philosophers to brag about8)</p>

<p>Philosophy IMO is what you make of it, those are all top-tier schools, so don't fret. Few schools would put particular emphasis on philosophy, though Chicago has a reputation of being more "cerebral" and "intellectual" than other elite schools.</p>

<p>Clearly I'm bias though; I'm going to U of C next year (and I like philosophy).</p>
