Comment:
"
    People love saying that this university is for nerds and that is pretty much true. I think that a lot of undergraduates who choose to come here are the type who had few friends in high school and cared more about their grades than having fun. This mentality definitely spills over into college life at the U of C. Students complain that there is no social life, but if this is so it is because most students who come here are socially awkward to begin with and would rather spend their evenings in the library studying than getting smashed, drunk, high, intoxicated, inebriated, wasted, plastered, etc. I firmly believe that you get out only what you put in - fun is not delivered to you on a platter; you have to find it yourself. Most students here don't even bother to look. So, the long and the short of it is this: if you are the type who wants to be in class with peers who are as enthusiastic about learning as you are then this is the school for you. If, on the other hand, you want to have an Animal House-esque undergraduate experience look elsewhere. My one serious complaint about the U of C is that collegiate sports are pretty much non-existant (that is, they are so pitiful they might as well not exist)and students here are about as unathletic as they come. Still, on the whole I would definitely come here again.
