[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With lack of D1 sports and proximity to a major airport or isolated location, I assume visits back to campus are pretty infrequent? While UVA, UMD, Michigan, Duke, Notre Dame, GU and other Ivy alums have D1 sports and/or proximity to airports and major coastal cities, making visits more common?[/quote]

Do you know where UChicago is located?[/quote]

Yes. In the Midwest, in Chicago, way down on the South Side of the city over an hour from the O'Hare. No D1 sports, not much to do around campus, bad weather, not a lot of Greek life. Most of their alums are on the coasts, so that's quite a hike and what is the draw to return?[/quote]

You understand Chicago has more than one airport,  right?

Frankly, you either "get" UChicago or you don't.  I don't really see much point to explaining the community's values to people who blather on about D-whatever sports and call fraternities rather than Classics departments "Greek life."[/quote]

Seriously. I went there for grad school and miss the awesome independent book stores, my favorite record store, and the awesome coffee shops.

I couldn’t care less that there isn’t a sorority for people to go back to and pathetically try to relive their college Greek life days.[/quote]
