I'm thinking of applying to Univ for PPE- how political is its atmosphere?

Hey all, just to say I'm currently at Univ (reading psychology and philosophy), so if you've any specific questions feel free to ask! Or indeed if you're coming to visit and want someone to show you round.

What are the philosophy tutors like at Univ...? How is philosophy at Univ taught and do you find that you enjoy the tutorials?

Thanks

Philosophy is taught the same way at all colleges, and you may well have tutors from different colleges. That said, you're more likely to be tutored at Univ than anywhere else if you go there. My philosophy tutors are great. A bit crazy, expecially as far as hair styles go, but really helpful and tutorials can be good fun, especially when you disagree! Look them up on the Univ website.

I'm also applying for PPE at Univ, seems like that's going to be a hard race :wink:

As to what made me apply, PPE is simply the most perfect course for me because I've always been interested in those three subjects. Univ was a bit of a guess, I loved it on the open day and looked up some things online, comparing colleges. But I think it's always guessing, you don't know what it's like untill you're there.
