The U of C was absolutely the best possible place I could have gone for my undergrad education. I may not have been trained specifically for a particular job track, but I learned how to think, a less common skill than one might hope. In other words, my education involved working my a** off to produce papers and discussions that were carefully constructed and contained important, original thoughts. Not that I always succeeded, but the process gave me the ability to look at any problem and take it apart into components and then figure out a solution. It doesn't matter what field I've gone into, those skills sell.

Socially, the U of C is not the place to go if your dream in life is to be a sorority sister/frat brother at a campus with a bustling greek life and sports culture. There is however lots of drinking, so hey, if that's your bag you'll be fine. For people whose idea of a good time is more along the lines of:

…and the list goes on. The point being, if you want to have fun, you can, it's just the intense cerebral form of fun enjoyed by a bunch of smart people constantly under pressure to perform at high levels.

The best part of Chicago is the personal satisfaction that comes at the end when you sit at graduation looking at the first and second year ushers and thinking, "Ha. I made it." Then, when you run into the occasional person who knows where the U of C is and is impressed, it's like being part of a highly elite club. After all, everyone and their dog knows Harvard, but you can tell the really interesting people by the fact they're impressed at your Chicago degree. Seriously.
