<p>What's the major like at Harvard? Is it an especially difficult one? Is there much interaction with professors? What are the kids typically like? How flexible is the major? Thanks.</p>
<p>Also, how big is the major?</p>
<p>Don't have too much personal interaction with the Philosophy dept. (although my TF for "Justice" was a Phil grad student, and the best TF I've had at Harvard).</p>
<p>But I have a couple of friends who study Philosophy and really love it. You have to be a certain type to appreciate the material, but if you do, Harvard's profs are top-notch, and it's a small, close-knit concentration. Philosophy MBB is an interesting option - it's a special track within Philosophy that allows you to take Psych + Neurobio classes for concentration credit.</p>
<p>Here's the link to the philosophy department in the student handbook: FAS</a> Handbook for Students: Chapter 3: Fields of Concentration There are generally 50 to 60 concentrators.</p>
