    King's College London or Science Po in Dijon?
    I've had an offer to study War studies and Philosophy at King's College in London and an other one to study at Science Po in Dijon..The taxes in England are 9000 £ while in France they are 177 euros per year... This is a thing I take in account but I am not going to make my final decision on this..However which one do you think is more prestigious and which one would give you more possibilities after??And what do you know about the campus they have got in Dijon?Is that so much different from the campus in Paris??

    I studied Philosophy at King's and have friends who did the Phil/war combination. These students went onto jobs in finance, journalism and the civil service. They were also able to get onto Master's programmes. The philosophy programme at King's is excellent. what do you think you would be most interested in studying?

    I would enjoy studying philosophy for no other purpose that just reading philosophy for itself ...so i chose war studies to do politics and a little of economics even if i am not too sure about how much economics u would do in this course...the fact is that i do not know if there is so much difference of level between science po and king's so that it would be worthed it to spend so much more money...these friends of yours that got these jobs were they particularly bright or normal guys with quite good grades and for whom it was important to have had a king's degree to get these jobs?
