[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is uncool to remain in Chicago after graduating. The gunners all move to the coasts.[/quote]

Of course, but that will never happen, so it's a bleeding city and uncool to stay there when you have better options. The kids who really love the city of Chicago are the kids from the Midwest who want to remain close to family. Average Big Ten graduates love Chicago. More competitive top 20 private college graduates generally don't want to be in the middle of the country, they prefer New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Washington DC, Miami and Boston.[/quote]

You have a weird obsession. It's just a school. If you went there and didn't like it, sorry. If you didn't go there, why do you care? Why crusade all over the internet?

The truth is that UChicago does what it does with undergrads very, very well, but people either value that or they don't. If you don't value it, choose a different school. Most are not at all like UChicago, so you or the student(s) you support should have plenty of other options without resorting to slander to attempt to diminish an option very few students will ever have and all are free to pass on.[/quote]
