Oxford is the most appealing academically because my three biggest interests are Politics, Philosophy, and Economics, and their most prestigious major is Joint Honors in Politics, Philosophy, and Economics.

As it turns out, UNC has a PPE program, albeit as a joint minor with Duke.

I don’t think I’d like Johns Hopkins, as I hate anything biomedical.

Good grief, it’s not Rockefeller University. Hopkins offers majors in everything from creative writing to Egyptology. :p



I definitely agree that it isn’t worth paying double the price … when the alternative is UNC. But I think that applies to most universities save perhaps Harvard, or Princeton or Yale.

For those who like rankings…
