[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD is a freshman at Chicago and she loves it. She’s a smart hard working student , as all of the students are, but what she especially likes are her close friendships and the fun that they have together at activities and in with her dorm mates. She likes all of her classes and her professors and she’s just really happy there. It was her first choice and it has really worked out for her.[/quote]

My DC is a third year and has serious misgivings about the place.  UChicago was DC’s first choice and DC was very happy with it first year.  [/quote]

What is DC’s major?

Honestly, I would have preferred a school like UVA for my DD. I told her that there was plenty of time in grad school for endless studying and projects and why not go to a slightly less intense school with some more down time?
I was told to stick it.

I’m very glad that she is happy there. I’ve met some of her friends and they all seem pretty wonderful and they seem pretty happy at the school.

I still worry a bit though. I think of U of Chicago is a school that the child has to pick and have a strong preference for (after doing thorough research into what the school is about). The parent definitely should not be picking that school for the child.

I have also been told repeatedly by other alumnae that they have met some of their ‘best friends for life’ at U of Chicago as well and I liked hearing that. [/quote]
