Super Brilliant
An absolutely amazing experience. I was not the stereotypical Chicago girl. I went shopping almost every week, I went out and partied at least four nights a week, and I still managed to make honors in my Economics major. Now I am headed to New York to work in a consulting firm. The University of Chicago has changed my life in every way imaginable -- it isn't just a school, but a four-year experience that is at the same time surprising, exhilarating, wonderful, horrifying, grueling, but SO worth it at the end.By the way, the University of Chicago opens a LOT of doors. When I first came, I was disappointed that not a lot of "laymen" had heard of it. In elite or educated circles, however, everyone is as impressed with Chicago as they are with Brown, Stanford, and the like!

Chicago is a great school for people who value a classical education. The focus is very much academic, but people who say that there is no social life usually mean the social life isn't like it is at other schools. The student body is very friendly and quirky and although it is a high-powered academic school there is relatively little competition.I would come to Chicago if you're looking for more than just a degree, but rather a comprehensive (breadth and depth) education. Except to be challenged on every front.

i had a strange experience at the U of C. i loved the social life there--it was great to have a society of nerds with whom i could be smart, goofy, or anywhere in between. still...most people find their academic selves at the U of C. i arrived at that school fancying myself an academic--and i learned very fast that i'm very much not, that i'm more oriented toward the practical. still, if i could do it all over again, i'd choose the U of C for undergrad in a heartbeat.
