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

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

It's Chicago's own motto.  I couldn't have made it up.  For $70,000 per year, your kids has to say that to make you feel not stupid.  [/quote]

It originated as a self-deprecating joke.  [/quote]

PPs have no sense of humor and wouldn’t have fun on any campus.  :lol: [/quote]

The whole campus is entitled nerds. They like it that way which is fine but to kids that aren’t all about intellectual talk 24/7,  it is boring.  The kids know this. You want to have normal college fun, you don’t go to U of Chicago.

It is like sending a conservative to Oberlin. They are all crunchy granola, take one shower a week kids, who purposely wear mismatched clothes, and play tambourines and drums in the grassy areas at school. Oh and bring their poop to compost for energy.  It is f’ing Trippy there. The 5 and 10 store town up the street makes it even more strange.

Some campuses lean a certain way very hard. U of Chicago has a hard niche. You either love it or hate it. [/quote]

This is true.  Not the nerd part as much any more but the intellectual intensity would be exhausting if you didn't love it.  Not a bland place for sure.  May be that's why the UChicago threads engender such strong feelings.[/quote]
