[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So not certain about no fun - there is an active Greek life at U Chicago, as well as many active Div 3 sports that have their own communities. It could be that because my son is an athlete, he has many sports-centered friends who do not view extra labs as their definition of fun, but actually do have fun. His roommate is a recruited soccer player, and U Chicago Men's soccer actually won the Div 3 championship this year.

As I said earlier, the quarter system is what makes it intense and takes away the fun. . Incidentally, that is not changing anytime soon; the faculty love the quarter system, even though it is harder for the students.

But Dean Ellison is working to make the undergraduate culture more social overall, with more traditions of weekly/seasonal house/ undergraduate college events.  [/quote]

Why is the quarter system difficult for students?

One semester worth of work condensed into 10 weeks.  You take 3-4 classes per quarter, so fewer classes but at a much faster pace.  Get sick or miss a couple of classes and you’re instantly behind.[/quote]

Well said. Very unforgiving.[/quote]
