Simply
a great institution, the University of Chicago may be one
of the few places left where a real, rigorous liberal
arts education takes place. Whereas numerous other institutions are preparing
students to go into select fields (engineering, finance, law, medicine,
etc.), the university gives you everything you need to enter
such fields and more. The Core education focuses on the
precise art of thinking, of presenting arguments clearly, of analyzing
philosophical perspectives, of understanding the meaning of “human being and
citizen,” of recognizing the fact that not all arguments are
equal, that there is a conclusion to be reached. Of
course, nothing is really easy. Even the intro biology classes,
in addition to the hard technical details about biology, go
into depth about current political/cultural issues. Students are encouraged to
make connections, to reasonably question basic assumptions, and to understand
the methods of constructing ideas with evidence. The math program,
for example, is also one of few in the nation
that not only requires a real math course, but teaches
delta-epsilon proofs in all levels of Calculus. UChicago students come
out not only with a strong ability to calculate (which
most decent high school students can anyways), but also with
a coherent understanding of the way that math is built
from basic axioms, that making strong statements cannot be speculative,
but requires rigorous proof based on clear definitions and assumptions.
Of course, I could go on. There very little you
can find at other institutions that you can't find at
UChicago (besides warm weather). All kinds of social life, activities,
clubs, organizations are available. If you really want an experience
of a lifetime, this is an excellent place to live
the “life of the mind.”
