<p>Ok, so I'm a junior and therefore I've thought a lot about college and after a lot of research, I've decided that my top two schools are Brown and Yale. However, I'm completely conflicted between the two, despite the fact that they are very different in some ways. I like Brown's lack of a core curriculum, especially because I want to double major in Economics and Philosophy and still be able take a reasonable amount of courses outside of my majors, but I also love that Yale is more traditional and has a great residential college system and is close to NYC. So, it would be very helpful if you guys could post which school you think is better (this is a yale thread so clearly you guys would say yale but why?) Also, if you actually had to make the decision it would be great if you could tell me how you chose.</p>
<p>hmm...i say don't go to college...it's overrated :)</p>
<p>Also, could someone tell me about the philosophy departement at Yale - if they like it/enjoy the classes. Oh, and whether or not the economics department at yale is better than the one at brown.</p>
