1- Courses are difficulty. Lots of homework and frequent papers and exams.

2- Faculty spend lots of extra time helping students who 'want to' succeed. Calculus class, for instance, my instructor offered extra help every night for a week. One ight he stayed til 11:00 pm going over work with me. I was able to master a difficult course (much much harder than any AP Calc course - which were easy '5s').

3- Students are a bit geeky - but open and friendly. It's easy to find and make friends.

4- Dorms are comfortable.

5- Chicago is great. Hyde Park is a bit 'iffy'.

6- I have already participated in extra curricular activity and travelled with the U Chicago team. I am presently inter mural team member on another team. I am not very good but my teammates are helpful and encouraging.

7- My biggest complaint is that the extra curricular Music Program doesn't exist and the Music Profs are not the least committed to the program. There is no classes or tutoring offered through the University for non Music majors and very few opportunities to perform.

8- Despite this I have found and pay for private tutoring.
