- www.gobeyondthebrochure.com/5-... - Though the University of Chicago (called “UChicago” by its denizens) is losing its reputation as the school “Where Fun Comes to Die,” it is still the most rewarding to those who work the hardest. These are the five things I wish I had been told before I kicked off my fast paced and zany four years at UChicago. University of Chicago’s reputation for academic rigor is not exaggerated. For some students, this means long hours in the library. For others it means showing up to every single class attentive and fully awake. Most students take far too long to realize that the most important part of their UChicago education is not the compulsory stuff like classes or homework.
Does this guy go to every college
My dream university
CONGRATS ON CHICAGO if you got!!!! BUT LET ME GIVE YOU disclaimers before you go. Just based on my experience and my sister too!!!
1) THe CORE SYSTEM: 1/3 of your time at Chicago is gonna be this core. It can be really taxing at times and super difficult to manage your time. Make sure your prepared for that. At times my I was sleeping like 1-2 hours a day. It’s absolute killer so if your doing something like pre-med or something (course heavy) then maybe Chicago might not be the right choice-> Pomona, RICE or even a lower tier school might be better
2) Intellectual bravado: I feel like UChicago always tries to make things more complicated than they already are. The teaching approach is insightful but super taxing and literally makes you go crazy sometimes.
3) Social life: “where the fun comes to die”-> Look social life is definitely there but it is pretty crappy compared to other schools. You just don’t get time to do things besides reading books lmao. The atmosphere is super competitive and even my friends at school regularly ask me for grades. I therefore agree that this quote is totally true.I’ve tried to get help for mental health from the campus counseling people but they just don’t seem to care because they are so used to students being miserable due to course load.
4)UCHICAGO IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE COLLEGE IN US if not the world!
I’ll be transferring from Chicago this year. Although I love certain aspects of the school (and I’ll miss my friends) but there I things I just can’t appreciate. Please, please don’t choose a school because of it’s name, recognition, rankings etc. Wish you all the best guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It scares me and makes me think again 1wk before ED
They just gave free cta passes this year
You kids always have it better :|
But remember, don't get mugged at Garfield station.
I'm a first year, and yes our cta swipes are free and unlimited, but 1) only when school is in session, not even for our one-week spring break, and 2) the "U-Pass" itself is not free. It costs about $285. However, that is just added on to tuition, so in the scope of all THAT money, $285 is not bad.

UChicago.....I love D's University
I’m going to become a visiting student of Uchicago, but I really concern about the security of there. I would appreciate it if anyone could answer my concerns.🙏
Would also note that UChicago now offers a UPass so that CTA is free
I wonder if Chicago University Press ever accepts submissions in dot ICBM format... 🤔
So UChicago aren't good neighbors
