[quote=Anonymous]DC should definitely visit both:

In addition to all the points others have made:

UofC
-the quarter system is crushing, I was always completely done by spring
-while there are plenty of grinds at Chicago, nerdiness and intellectual curiosity are more important to success than being a really hard worker. I knew plenty of smart procrastinators who did fine there.
-the city of Chicago is an amazing asset, but only for intrepid students, others will feel trapped in hyde park (if you visit either take the 55 bus from Midway to campus, or take the red line to 55th street and take the 55 bus to campus so your kid can get a sense of where campus is in relation to the rest of the city
-no ed department. I don't know that that actually matters for an undergrad, unless they really wouldn't be up for going on for an MA

Brown
-Ed dept seems to be in a bit of turmoil, but that might be more at the grad level. 
-Students can definitely come out feeling like they were unfocused and missed key classes (people going into ed policy who never took stats for example), but students can address this by working with their advisor to make a solid course plan and by taking classes that they aren't super enthusiastic about
-Providence is a great little city and seems like a fun place to be a college student, and NYC is only a few hours away by bus, and Boston is one hour away by train
