[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Swarthmore & U Chicago are pressure cooker. [/quote]

They’re not pressure cooker if you have a good brain.[/quote]

[b]

UChicago certainly is.  The quarter system there can be brutal.  [/b]It’s a no time to think scenario — even/especially if you’re smart and intellectually ambitious.  Adm acknowledges this and is considering a switch to semesters.

Bottom line re this topic is that, if you have an intellectually-oriented kid, any good university with faculty doing interesting work in your kid’s area(s) of interest will be a stimulating environment for the undergrad years.  And if you don’t have an intellectual kid, odds are that no college (or curriculum) is going to make him/her a convert unless that kid has previously been deprived of opportunities for intellectual exploration.  If you have a kid that could go either way (e.g. intellectual or, say, partier or jock) then it’s really a fit question wrt which environment/cohort will bring out (or suppress) various aspects of th3 kid’s personality.

It’s not. But you do drop in to say that every time there’s a U Chicago post - nonstop.
