[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to the U of Chicago for Law School in the late 90's.  I found it to be a serious place, and I had very smart classmates and professors.  I found the people very likeable.  I liked the campus, but OK, it was not ideal to live on the South Side of Chicago, as it is a bleak place.  It was not a particularly fun stage of life, but I am glad that I went there because it gave me a lot of opportunities career-wise.

Is your niece normally a relatively positive/neutral person, or does she tend to be a complainer / kind of paint with a broad brush?  If the former, then perhaps she should transfer if it was really that bad.  (Granted, I kind of doubt it's that bad as she's describing?)  If she tends to be a slightly negative person anyway, then perhaps she will not particularly enjoy any college.[/quote]

A lot has changed in 30 years, grandma!

My brother did not like U of Chicago for the same reasons 3 years ago. His O-Chem professor spoke very little English. The TA for the class also spoke broken English. He basically taught himself most of the material and used the resources friends at other universities provided him from their courses. He ended up transferring to Duke after his 2nd year and was much happier.  [/quote]
