URGENT Please guide me on which philosophy department to choose?

DePaul looks like it has a huge variety. I noticed some of the classes are taught under mixed disciplines. Which I think is a positive. I liked the sound of the course on critical thinking. Sometimes universities will only offer a class once every two years or so and it is hard to get in to. So even though the variety is great there is that to look in to. DePaul is also a Catholic school so that might influence the teaching and teachers. UIC looks more basic. But for an undergrad that is what you need. A solid foundation with good teachers. I would strongly suggest going to each campus and talking with a couple professors and students. Maybe even ask to sit in on a class. Student to teacher ratio is also very important. How do you learn best? How many teachers are full time vs. part time?
