No it just shows how a few people who hate the school try and derail every thread about the school. If you tried that with Dartmouth or Notredame or Tufts or Tulane even that STD capital Dook, you would get an even more violent reaction. It's called school pride. UChicago didn't have any for many many years but now has it in spades.


Not really. You never see anyone wearing shirts for Chicago. There’s some shame there.


LOL

You realize UChicago is pretty small, right? It has about 16,000 total students, including undergrads and grad students. By comparison, Michigan has about 41,000. The smaller size plus lack of big name sports teams is the reason why you don’t really see people with Chicago shirts on.

But why think about it critically? Just bashing the school is way easier.

No dog in the fight.

More like nerds realizing they can bully from behind keyboards. Haven't seen any hysterical threads by Harvard, Yale, Stanford. It's always Chicago.

She said, "Chicago told me they love a good debate, thrive off feisty skepticism and constructive criticism, so the negative energy is surprising."

Chicago loves critical intellectual discussions - unless it's about them.


Hahaha. Did your parents and friends disown you because you did not make it to an elite school baby? Are you in so much pain that you made an account called notuofc2022 just today to rant about the school that rejected you only to get banned swiftly?

Life must suck for you but seriously it's ok to go to a state school. Just study hard and prove yourself instead of carrying all this negative energy and hatred. It's not good for you.

See, there you go again with your pure Nonsense. This was probably you wasn't it? That's the only way you would know that there user was banned. Lol. And it was the moderator who locked down the thread and banned your ass because you violated their rules. . Lies, Lies and more Lies. You made an account specially to rant about UChicago..

Pathetic. And I am sure you didn't even get in. You just wanted to rant. You deserve what you got. Now eff off.


Yep, absolutely. By saying the user was banned, you outed yourself. Now go crawl back into the pathetic hole you came from.

You also don’t even know how long the university has been around. You say it changed in 2000 or 2010, but was a certain way for 50 years beforehand. You realize it was founded in 1890, not 1950 or 1960, right?

If you’re going to troll, at least get your facts right.

Or maybe about his kid. That said, the profs both he and I studied constitutional law/theory with at Princeton were predominantly UofC PhDs.

BTW, when the President of Princeton, opts to send his own kid to UChicago, instead of the single letter schools, that should tell you something about the state of education in this country right now. Not sure how many here know about this.
