[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do people on this board understand that UChicago is ranked third in the country/fourth in the world (easy to check on Google) for producing Nobel prize laureates? As a recently retired HOS, I've always held it in the highest regard. The only drawback I used to joke is that their unofficial motto is: Where fun goes to die.

People here need to get over their very unhealthy Ivy fetish.[/quote]

I don't think PP has an Ivy fetish, so much as a weird hatred of the University of Chicago that manifests itself in arguing that Chicago isn't on par with the Ivies.  The Ivies are just invoked for rhetorical purposes; otherwise, PP likely has no connection with any Ivy.  I think most Ivy grads look favorably on Chicago and know quite a few who've sent their own kids there (including the president of Princeton).  [/quote]

Something about a lot of the general school bashing here is extremely offensive.

If people have been to a school and want to talk about why they hated it, or why a particular school is or isn't a better value than a student's in-state flagship: Fine.

But people tearing into a school based on "prestige" or because merely because the school "attracts strivers" is getting old fast.

I think the above is simply pointing out the fact that Chicago is as good as good public unis or mediocre SLACs. [/quote]
