[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I taught at UofC and the students there are my favorite. Compared to other universities where I've taught, I found students more willing to engage with ideas and less likely to have a "what do I need to do to get an A because I'm applying to med school" mentality. I didn't think I would like the core curriculum, but found that having shared texts really enriched class discussion.[/quote]

:roll: Thanks for chiming in, UofC admissions team.[/quote]

If you want to move from annoying to full stalker, you can ask Jeff. I'm sure he could confirm that I've mentioned teaching at UofC in other posts. And, I'm pretty sure official Chicago boosters are only allowed to write UChicago. The downsides to me were a significant number of students experiencing mental health issues exacerbated by stress (a graduate student shot himself in a library bathroom and died while I was there) and the quarter system which is grueling.

Different "pro Chicago" poster, and I definitely get the same sense from my prof husband. He'd agree with all of your points in both posts, including the stress-caused mental health issues. And the quarter system! Lordy. I went to grad school on the quarter system and it was very, very tough.
