I want to make sure they have time for things like internships and study abroad and other activities that make you an interesting person.[/quote]

U of Chicago might be one of the worst schools to achieve these goals.

Try U of Nevada at Las Vegas or U of Texas at El Paso. [/quote]

Do you know kids who actually attend?  The ones I know personally had internships, did weekly volunteer work in in the city, and were active members of clubs.  They are great kids!  I don't know about study abroad bc the ones i know well are freshmen and sophomores and the older kids were anxious to stay on campus bc of time lost to covid -- but i am sure Chicago would get you stats on that.[/quote]

Yes, I personally know some. Yes. Some study abroad or get internships. It was the “interesting” part they lack. [/quote]

What makes a kid interesting to you?  The kids I know are incredibly bright, good conversationalists, read a lot, and have hobbies.  Almost all are pretty athletic (though not playing collegiate athletics).  They are all interested and versed in current events.  If I went into their interests and internships, it might give them away.  I would say they are not party kids (one doesn't drink though happy to attend a party, the others are very social but not into a fraternity-type college scene).  Uninteresting would not be how I would describe any of them.[/quote]

I am the OP and the above pretty much described my interested DD.

Does the core make it hard to double major?

How is safety recently ?[/quote]
