  1. Thanks guys for your insights! It's the MTS degree! Yeah, it certainly seems very expensive living in Cambridge. But I can choose to live in one of the residence halls, and then my living costs will be lesser than the half of the UChicago tuition. I agree with you that UChicago would be the best choice if I am to pursue my interest in the specific area, but yeah, it's the money... Maybe I should try asking an increased amount of funding by contacting the office, although I don't know how it will be perceived like. What if I take courses outside HDS to get myself more exposed to continental philosophy? I can take courses at BU and BC.
  2. Hi all. May I get some advice regarding choosing between the master's programs at UChicago and HDS? I am an international student with an MA in philosophy (I did my MA in my home country). My interest lies in philosophy or religion, continental philosophy(esp. German idealism, Post-modernism), and the intersection of western and eastern philosophy(esp. Daoism). I've been accepted at UChicago and HDS, with 50% tuition coverage and full funding (with some stipend) respectively. And now I am undecided where to go. As far as I know, UChicago is very strong in philosophy of religion and continental philosophy. I think the curriculum and faculty at UChicago fit me very well. It seems like I will be able to easily prepare myself for my future Phd application and doctoral work in the field if I choose to study there. I also know that UChicago pools about half of its Phd students from its MA program. And as it has a strong program in continental philosophy, I might be able to apply to Phd programs in philosophy as well. Still, half of the tuition and the living cost is pretty huge.. HDS, on the other hand, is much more affordable with the tuition remission. But it seems like I will get a more general than intense and integrated education there, at least in terms of my field of interest. Although HDS is obviously a prestigious place, I am not sure if it would be as strong as UChicago in training myself in the field of philosophy of religion. I will appreciate any advice and insight from anyone. Thanks!
