[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The quality of the undergraduate education is amazing.  [b]U Chicago often is bashed on DCUM but I'm not sure why.[/b]  There still are quirky aspects to the school, although I agree that the student body is less non-conformist than it used to be 25+ years ago.  They have a large endowment and can be generous with financial aid.  The name alone will open doors for your child's entire life.  And the students aren't stuck in Hyde Park unless they want to be, Chicago is an amazing city.[/quote]

Is UChicago bashed on DCUM? I feel like I see much more of the opposite.

It's not UChicago that's getting bashed but the near-nonstop, nonsensical, and over-the-top boosterism by some UChicago parents on this forum at one point that really turned us off. [/quote]

[b]Sometimes.  But in particular there is one virulent Anti-Chicago poster whose efforts have been noted here and on College Confidential stemming from some bad personal experience.  Banned on CC now, don't think that is the case here .[/quote][/b]

I think it has toned down quite significantly compared to a couple years ago when it was shooting up the rankings.

+1. I haven’t see the boosterism about Chicago either and I read all the threads about it because I have a student there.[/quote][/quote]
