Seriously, this is their own motto.  [/quote]

Not true.  DS went from a Top 3 DC school to Chicago and loves it![/quote]

From one of the student reviews:

The weather is terrible, the skies are often gray/overcast, and I really did feel like I was sort of stuck there for four years. If the "life of the mind" is all you really care about, you'll probably like Chicago, but if you want to have fun too and a more "well-rounded" college experience in a location with more sunny days (and happier students), go elsewhere. There were a lot of unhappy students at Chicago when I attended?I certainly wasn't the only one biding my time and counting the days till I could leave.[/quote]

That was from the class of 1975.  How is this relevant today?[/quote]

Has Chicago move its location so their weather is any different from 1975?  Are there more sunny days now than in 1975?[/quote]

You're really reaching now. Have you checked out weather for any of the northeastern schools including H?  If weather is your criteria, Boston is really no fun.
No question that he UChicago of old was miserable.  It's just not that school any more (inluding the weather thanks to global warming   [/quote]

Not PP but I’m not sure why you’re taking offense at this. I’m not that old, and when I visited friends at Chicago this was kind of like a jokey point of pride. It is a more bookish, eggheady school, which I always thought was kind of cool.  But get real it’s not Arizona State. I think you’re projecting what YOU think about the school... if your kid is like most there, he or she probably likes it for what it is. [/quote]
