[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread reads like a paid infomercial program. [/quote]

Ok, you got me!  My dissertation fellowship paid me $12,000 a year for 2 years, 35 years ago and, in return, I had to promise to promote universities in the metro region at every opportunity I get.  If I fail in this mission, I fear I will be sued by the nonprofit (not affiliated with either school) that gave me the grant. So I posted anonymously, agreeing with another poster who said Chicago is a fun place to live when you’re young, Also they made me pledge to send my firstborn child back and that’s the only reason my DC went to UofC.

What a stupid, substance-free way to dismiss other posters’ opinions.

Besides, if I were paid to promote Chicago, I certainly would have mentioned that it has a great live music scene and so much good theater, that it’s a foodie town that doesn’t require a huge budget to eat well, that there are a wealth of good museums (I think college students get in free to most) and that the public transit system is more robust than DC’s, so you don’t need a car to take advantage of these opportunities.[/quote]

My niece goes to UofC and loves it.[/quote]
