[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chicago's administration is very unlike other schools. If your child gets triggered easily by controversial speakers being invited to campus or doesn't like free speech then s/he should go to Brown. At Chicago students are going to be subject to speakers like Bannon and others. Some consider this a plus, others an outrage.

Chicago has the core. You can construct a core at Brown, but the onus is on the student. Chicago's core is flexible but not there is some real structure and depth to the core. Some like this, others hate it. If you like a well rounded education and believe that certain subjects "must" be included in an undergrad curriculum, go to Chicago. If you prefer tremendous flexibility and no constraints/restraints on what courses you can take, go to Brown.

Chicago's quarter system is brutal and fast, you cannot afford to snooze. Midterms will hit you during 3rd or 4th weeks and in STEM classes they don't throw out A's very easily. But then you are done with courses quickly and don't have to suffer through a long semester

Chicago's administration just needs to pander to their old conservative alums more than other schools because of the low endowment.  I say this as a proud UofC Ph.D.[/quote]
