Date: Jan 13 2003 Major: Language - French/Spanish/etc. (This Major's Salary over time) I majored in Classics at theUniversity of Chicago, and it was wonderful. Students should especially take advantage of the core—don't be lazy. Take classes from the most demanding professors you can find. Take HBC and Western Civ. The professors are, for the most part, incredibly enthusiastic about teaching undergrads, and will go out of their way for a dedicated and interested students. The writing and thinking skills that you will gain will enable you to succeed at ANYTHING in the future. The late-night dorm discussions of great books are a must. While the U of C is not by ANY definition a "party school", if you love to read, write, think and argue, it is a PARADISE. The social life tends more towards discussion, eating, visiting museums, operas and symphonies than frat parties, and it is a GOOD thing. Campus is only about 15 - 20 minutes by public transportation from downtown Chicago. China town is easily accessible, as is the North Side.Hyde Park has EXCELLENT bookstores and pretty decent resteraunts. 55th street is a Thai food paradise.If you enjoy the life of the mind, you will be in heaven at the U of C!
