The University of Chicago is simply the greatest university in the world. I have worked with people from, and at, some the other great universities, none compares to the level intellectual inquiry found at Chicago. I was particularly, and continue to be, impressed with the undergrads at Chicago. Other schools may be more selective on the basis of numbers, but none educate their students like Chicago. The rigor in thinking and argument, the breadth of knowledge, and the depth of understanding is unequalled. The faculty are accessible and fun, particularly if one can understand their enjoyment and commitment to their subject matter. Though the winters were indeed cold, it was worth it to experience the daily exhilaration of being at Chicago. Also, contrary to popular myth, "The University's" social life was diverse and quite lively. Whether it was talking to people from many backgrounds and points of view at the many seminars and gatherings, or staying up all night at a Chicago blue's club, there was always something fun and new to experience.
