[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC has about 14 days to decide. Undecided on major - maybe trying for the business school McIntire at Virginia. As a parent, is it crazy to think Chicago will have fewer distractions compared to the rah-rah UVA?[/quote]

If DC is really the one who's undecided, I'd go with UVA.

- It's a fine school.

- For you, it's cheaper.

- It's probably better plugged into D.C.-type jobs.

- The classes and students are probably way more diverse. Your DC would have more freedom to evolve. Your DC could either take very challenging courses at UVA or go in a different, take easy classes and party a lot. That option may not be available at the University of Chicago.

- I've never even seen the University of Chicago, but it sounds as if the University of Chicago is for an intense student who really wants that particular college experience, not for a decent student who just wants to go somewhere respectable for college.

- It's nice to go away for college, but it's also nice to be able go home without getting on a plane.

- It sounds as if the University of Chicago is pretty mean about maximizing its reject rate. Maybe it would be good to turn that university down just to punish it for leading kids on.
