[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

I’m a coastie but Chicago would be world class if they just went full Lee kwan yew

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 say many things (e.g. , what's considered "uncool" or who the kids who love Chicago are) as if they are facts, but they're not.  It is your biased opinion,, so of no value. [/quote]

It is not an opinion that most UChicago students flee the Midwest after graduation. [b]This sub-topic came about after someone asked why go to college for four years in the crummy south side of Chicago if you are not going to remain in Chicago after graduation. [/b]It is not like UChicago offers such a distinct education or provides any bump in pay or prestige; UChicago salaries are relatively awful. You are better off going to college someone ranked a little lower in the region you can see yourself living in after college.[/quote]

This was you. Not "someone," but you. You are the OP on both threads and you have been sock puppeting with this talking point that I will generously call an argument. Why are you grinding this axe?

I don't think you or your child were rejected from UChicago, as some other posters have suggested,  because one gets over that kind of thing eventually. I think you may have been fired by a Chicago alumnus, or maybe your ex went there. Oh--or was it the lover who stole your ex away? It had to have been someone you think ruined your life. [/quote]
