[quote=Anonymous]My kid fell in love and did ED.  They really love it.

But I will agree that the quarter system is crazy kntese for STEM classes and there is major grade deflation in some of those classes which can make for a bit of a stressful feel.  The vibe of the school is definitely “do more!” Which carries over to academics, social stuff and extracurriculars.  My kid is crazy busy but loves that.

I thought the campus was gorgeous.  So many teees and the lake and the amazing varied architecture.  My kid goes into Chicago occasionally for shopping or festivals or concerts.  I would guess kids from urban areas who are more used to metro systems probably make more addcabtafe of that.

the winters are cold.  Like “mom, I can’t get ride my bike to class because  the gears and lock are frozen shut” cold.

I haven’t noticed any real rich kid vibe.  For that, go to Brown.  There are a lot of foreign billionaires who send their kids to brown for whatever reason.  My kid rparticupates in a few extracurricular programs and making sure peol from Al economic backgrounds can participate in things like travel competitions is a big priority.
