The worst things about Philosophy:

"I like it all really. At first I hated the Logic component as it was quite mathematical. I think this is a common feel with many philosophy students as most good philosophy courses have a Logic component at least initially and this is far from comfy essay writing. However, it challenged me and meant I worked harder on it and in the end I received my highest marks in Logic."

Thomas, at Durham University - Read more
