Yeah, the St. Andrews department of philosophy is one of the best in the country, up there with Oxford and Cambridge. (SA is known as the Oxford of the north... or so we like to think anyway) Actually we have a huge amount of Americans here studying international relations, which is essentially political sciences. Our department for IR is one of the best in the world.
I have no idea where I might go after university, most likely I'll go into teaching or writing. I'm not sure whether or not to major strictly in philosophy or change to do a double honours course with history. Originally I only applied to study philosophy but Scottish universities have a different system which means I'm now doing history as well. Originally this was somewhat against my will but now I'm really enjoying it, go figure.
Also I don't have aim.
