<p>Emil, any input from someone who’s actually there is a ton of help so thank you!</p>
<p>I want my studies to focus on ethics, which is a little unfortunate because most of the professors there have interests in metaphysics, epistemology, math, and the like (the first two I despise and I don’t plan on taking any classes in those areas beyond what’s necessary). I suppose American philosophy is by definition scientific/analytical so I can’t do much about that. Were I in Germany, maybe I’d be studying phenomenology with my tall blonde girlfriend.</p>
<p>As far as the arbitrary grading, I feel ya. Even in community college it can affect your grades in pre-req courses. Good luck with your final year in psychology. And please once you graduate, convince your department heads to free the philosophy department of epistemology and embrace it as their own.</p>
