"The Reg" (Joseph Regenstein Graduate Library) was the center of campus life when I was there (35 yrs. ago, now--but I doubt a whole lot has changed, at least in this respect). Chicago is a great place to go if you know exactly what you want and it offers it. It is, I think, not as good a place for "exploration." Moreover, the 3:1 grad/undergrad ratio and (at the time) 3:2 male/female ratio made it difficult for a 17-yr.-old first year student, socially. I might have done better elsewhere. Still, all in all, I really value the years I spent at Chicago, no matter the difficulties I encountered and experienced. Surrounding City: A+, Social Life: C- Have a Question?

Not only are most students clinically depressed but the counselors are really inept and can verge from being outright mean to just outright dumb. The professors can be stellar. Unfortunately it's hard to make a major impression and you may be better off going somewhere else, somewhere where you'll not be putting on your nose every 2 minutes during the winter because it fell off.

I'll try to cover the basics. I knew what I was getting myself into by coming here. When I have a problem set, paper, and lab due the next day, I remind myself that I chose to come here. However, I have been pleasantly surprised by the amount of fun to be found on campus. Perhaps this is because I am a first year and everything is so new to me. I decided to join a sport I had never played before and was whole-heartedly welcomed on the team. That's what I love about this place, you can pick almost anything up. I found people to socialize with easily, there is always a concert, movie, or interesting talk happening on campus. Some of this has to do with the dorm I live in. I am very close to the main quad and somehow lucked out with a friendly bunch of people on my floor. Class wise, I took three instead of the standard four classes because I did not want to get overwhelmed. I feel challenged, but am definitely not dying.
