<p>I was accepted to both Santa Cruz and Riverside for Philosophy... which school would you say has a better department?</p>
<p>I'm a bit partial to SC just because it's a prettier campus and further from home (I'd stay on-campus, whereas UCR would be a 40-minute commute from home)</p>
<p>But the most important factor is of course the department itself... any ideas?</p>
<p>UCR is #31 in the country and #38 in the world. UCSC is not in the top 50.</p>

<p>UCR is actually very underrated. Go visit the campus.</p>
<p>UCR is good. One of the guys on their faculty got his PHD under John Rawls. And he was one of his three students who helped co-write a book dedicated to him i believe. The other to are Korsgaard, who’s at Harvard, and Herman, who’s at UCLA.</p>
