[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a child there. We just returned from parents weekend. Our child is really happy. Workload is very rigorous (so much reading for core courses) but a demanding high school seems to have made all the difference. Our child is very social and has made a lot of friends already through a club sport and other activities. Dorm and dining hall seemed better than for older siblings at other schools. Campus is beautiful. Hyde Park itself is fine as long as your kid has some basic urban awareness. Some surrounding neighborhoods should be avoided. Seemed similar to Penn and Hopkins in that way. Our child’s only complaint so far is that the fall semester starts too late, with most friends leaving for college a month earlier.

Your child should visit and stay with friends.
Ours stayed in two different dorms with friends from school/sports and left with an impression of very very bright students in a work hard/play slightly less hard environment. Good luck with the decision.[/quote]

Thank you! my DC actually visited already in the spring and loved it. But I didn't go on that trip. If I'd known he was going to like it as much as he did, I probably would have insisted on going. As it is, I've just been reading online and panicking.[/quote]
