[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s funny how the tables have turned. Duke is no longer fun because it’s filled with nerdy Asian students while UChicago, by admitting rich white kids, is now fun.[/quote]

Agreed. But wouldn’t be so sure the rich white kids going to Chicago are barrels of fun. My rich white kid toured UChicago and it was WAY too nerdy for him. I suspect the Sidwell kids picking Chicago tend towards the nerdy side. [/quote]

From what I saw, they were extremely polite (we were asked if we needed help finding something constantly on campus, on NO other campus did this happen) passionate/driven in their discipline (extremely impressive) and the math courses are some of the most popular (still wonderfully nerdy) but my daughter commented the kids looked very impressive (well put together, adorable). Has everything you can want. Decent, nerdy/intellectual, clean cut, passionate kids. This is what I want my kid to be versus watching football and getting drunk all weekend, sorry to those that disagree. The campus was one of the nicest we toured, just gorgeous, and with a great sense of fun, with all the on campus coffee shops, free milkshakes, swings in the food hall, house culture. [/quote]
