[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC loved Chicago from the get go, is STEM focused, doesn’t mind the cold, and is thriving. There is a ton of work and the core is no joke. It would have been an “easier path” if they’d gone to a less demanding school, but they actually enjoy the classes/work and have found their people. The day to day experience is a great fit. I wish it was closer (we are in the DMV). I don’t love the quarter system from a calendar/schedule perspective. It’s expensive and we got zero aid. [/quote] Very much our experience -- 1/2 STEM, 1/2 Humanities kid. First year. Tons of work but loves it. [/quote] 1/2 Stem, 1/2 humanities becomes all STEM - as you shall see. There is no such thing as 1/2 humanities, except as an application marketing ploy.[/quote] I have several friends that have UChicago kids. All of them ended up double majoring (history/economics, physics/English, math/economics, CS/classical studies). That’s what makes UChicago special: the quarter system and the core are tough, but they do make it easier to accommodate interdisciplinary interests. [/quote] My U Chicago kid is double majoring in econ and linguistics.[/quote]
