[quote=Anonymous]Which is better? I've heard that since the mid-2000's Chicago's core has been 'watered' down a bit..i.e. almost like distribution requirements because students can choose from a menu of options to fulfill parts of the core. Where's columbia's core are specific prescribed courses (no choice from a menu). But i've heard that chicago's culture is such that students expect everyone else to do the readings/participate (just more intellectual) etc compared to columbia so they get more out of the core. so which core is better? and does the fact that chicago runs on quarter system compared to columbia also affect this comparison (i.e. is one better than the other?)
