[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to U of C for grad school. Admittedly, this was 10 years ago, but all the undergrads I encountered seemed overworked and utterly miserable. No one that I encountered seemed to have much of a social life or happy opinions about the school - there is a reason that one of the campus sayings is "U of C is where fun goes to die." The campus is beautiful, but also grey and gritty. No one is out on the quad playing frisbee or catching some sun like at my undergrad. Hyde Park was not the safest and the campus was literally surrounded by burned out buildings/ neighborhoods.  I did not have kids then, but I remember thinking that I would never allow a child to attend this school for undergrad. Maybe a lot has changed in 10 year.[/quote]

Every one of these observations is totally incorrect about the undergrad population today including the "where fun goes to die" anachronistic phrase. Kids nowadays regularly play midnight football and broomball on the midway in today's Chicago, Hyde Park is actually much safer than neighborhoods surrounding Stanford, Harvard and Penn. Look up the crime reporting stats. I was surprised when I looked it up.[/quote]
