[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She earned very high marks and she does not wish to return. And not just for known reasons like violent crime, weather, and its isolated location in the Midwest, and more specifically, on the deep south side of Chicago. We had a long lunch and here are her words in quotes: Her classmates are &quot;repulsively obnoxious&quot; and &quot;insufferable,&quot; her professors were &quot;checked out&quot; or &quot;barely spoke English,&quot; the university seems &quot;unprofessional&quot; and in &quot;disarray,&quot; and most of the staff she encountered were &quot;useless&quot; and &quot;incompetent.&quot; &quot;It looks like a serious university but it does not operate like a serious university.&quot;

It was not her first choice but she was so excited when we met for lunch late last summer. It is sad to see her so unhappy after a year.[/quote]

Eh. UChicago &gt; Vanderbilt and Georgetown for undergrad still. I would also say UChicago ~ Dartmouth, Brown, Amherst, Williams, Pomona. HPSM, Caltech, Yale, UPenn, Duke, Columbia are the only schools I feel confident saying are better than UChicago undergrad.[/quote]
