Question by anonymous: What are some colleges or universities with great undergraduate philosophy programs?
I’m really interested in studying philosophy in college, and I can’t find anything except the philosophical gourmet discussion (which is really vague, and anyhow, I’d like to have a second opinion).
In a strange twofer, if you also happen to know some great colleges or universities for agriculture, specifically with organic crops, that would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.

Most prestigious colleges will also have good Philosophy programs (especially liberal arts colleges.)
But if you would like a list of some schools with very good programs…I would suggest looking in to: Amherst, Dartmouth, Bates, Brandeis, Colgate, Colby, Davidson, Haverford, Oerlin, Swarthmore, Vassar, William & Mary, Pomona, Harvard, NYU, U Chicago, Columbia, Stanford, Rutgers, Hampshire, UVM, and U Pittsburgh. Generally, though, it’s best to go to smaller schools if you want to study philosophy–smaller classes=better discussions and better relationships with your professors.
And for agriclture:
Yale (they have an organic farm, though there is no formal major–I believe your major would need to be in environmental studies), UConn Storrs, Hampshire College, Cornell, U Idaho, Arizona, and UVM.
