[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We found the kids about the same across the elite universities in that there is a fairly wide range of types.  You could interchange most of the crowd between Harvard, UChicago, Yale and Columbia without noticing the difference.  I would say the overall vibe at Princeton, Penn and Stanford is more pre-professional on surface.[/quote]

Every college you listed is far more prestigious, far more fun, better location, with far more attractive and happier student body. Of course Chicago architecture is amazing. But the student body is mostly neurotic pretentious crackpots jousting for who's the most sleep deprived, miserable and weirdest.[/quote]

That's certainly true for the business school grads from there that I've encountered in DC. Most insecure, miserable, (and usually burned out!) grasping, strivers I've ever seen. (I work with 3 and my BIL is one also.) It's sad.[/quote]

Striver is a great word for the average Chicago alum. Desperate strivers, always just short of where they want to be, who think being a pompous pushy abrasive jerk makes them [i]quirky[/i]. Aren't I clever, I push everyone's buttons! No, afraid that makes you a borderline autistic anti-social weirdo nobody can stand.[/quote]
