[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UChicago as an institution has many achievements (and the marketing department to boot) but is grossly overhyped generally, and its alumni tend to be terribly insecure about their place in the world. I've had good experiences with Northwestern alumni.[/quote]

They were just being polite. [/quote]

Pardon? You think trolling anonymous internet boards aggressively touting the school and spamming DCUM with ranking lists that favor UCHicago is "being polite"? You think loudly proclaiming that "UChicago is the new Harvard" and insulting anyone who might disagree with you is polite behavior? [/quote]

Calm down! If they want to tout their alma mater and you disagree, state your case and be done with it. It's no different than those saying the 8 ivies are the best because they are Ivy, or more recently those defending Dartmouth. Or the UVA or Berkeley fan clubs. Don't have to go out of your way to trash a school or flame a poster.

And yes, it seems the "they" above refers to Northwestern alumni.[/quote]
