[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The work is intense, and the culture is not social by any means. But since it's not a LAC, and is medium size (8000 undergrads), it contains multitudes.

Yes, you're going to encounter the intense, serious students who want to debate using parliamentary debate rules in the middle of the night over esoteric issues, instead of asking about your day, and people who like the "where fun goes to die" study sweats are attracted to this community, it also contains multitudes. At our private, some average students have been accepted at UChicago who aren't that intense or intellectual.

The bigger issue about the culture is that UChicago is just not an under-grad centric school. They have 20,000 graduate students, and only 8,000 undergrads. Keep that in mind when you think about accessing profs and getting research opportunities. [b]At the end of the day, it functions and prioritizes itself more as a grad school much more than a college.[/b]

Its 2026, not 1990. They have significantly increased focus on undergraduate education.[/quote]
