[quote=Anonymous]Kids who are seriously into academics and looking forward to college as an intellectual challenge. Kids who are comfortable living in a big city and who can handle public transit, racial and economic differences, and cold, windy weather. Kids who want a broad but intense education. Basically, have your son look at the Core Curriculum and at the Uncommon Essay topics (U of C's supplement to the Common App). If he's still interested (or even more interested), it's probably a good match. My kid was also attracted by the arts scene both on and off campus (theater, comedy, museums, music). It's a great university, with a worldwide reputation and amazing resources. But it isn't what the vast majority of American kids are looking for as their college experience. [/quote]
