[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]City vs middle of nowhere

If he’s seriously s about philosophy I’d look at departmental reqs.

Georgetown seems to have an enormous number of core distribution requirements compared to Williams. These are a huge pain to fulfill in my experience with my older child. It sounds good until you have to build your whole semester’s schedule around a certain class you have little interest in taking. [/quote]

Our DC has found that Georgetown distribution requirements results in a richer degree and I don't know a student at any school that doesn't have to manage registration each semester. Working with dean's and professors on getting into a required course is always there as a backstop.  They also say that most of the time, people are just complaining because they don't get the exact section or teacher that they want...it's rarely that they can't get the distribution requirement.  (And yes, for the first year - you have to be creative but there are tons of classes you need that are available) [/quote]
