[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a first year at UofC (from the DC 'burbs). The students that are happiest here are nerdy, love working hard because they love learning, and tend to be less into partying.

Of course there are people who don't fit that mold (as a PP said, there are more and more people who fit the pre-professional bent and there is much more of a party culture here than our "where fun comes to die" t-shirts suggests) but many of them seem to have come for the US News ranking and regret it. I'll put it this way - the nerdy ones who are here to learn because learning is great never talk about transferring out. The ones who want to party more and are here as a stepping stone for a career talk about it quite a bit. There is also a bit of a culture war between the dorms. The UChicago you see in Snitchcock, Breck, and BJ is not the same UChicago in South and Max P. [b]The Ivy-Leaguing of UChicago is restricted to the newer dorms with less close knit houses.[/b][/quote]

Would you please explain what you mean by the Ivy-Leaguing? And thanks for your informative post.[/quote]
