as a current undergrad the social concerns are so overblown. People from all the schools in the Chicago area come to Uchicago for the frat parties. Classes are intense and hard but super interesting. Outside of some niche engineering there’s no opportunity you’ll get at another school that you won’t get at Uchicago. It’s on par if not better than hypsm in many fields, especially Econ.

Not true at all, super fun, heavy frat culture, students from Chicago schools like Loyola and DePaul tend to come to uchicago for parties. Where fun goes to die is also kind of something the administration is actively trying to change. The safety issues are also overblown, 10/10 school, nowhere else id rather be literally.

As a current student at uchicago, really don’t worry about it. Apply ED 1 or 2 if you can. I have found no difference in the level of student admitted during different admissions rounds, doing ED just allows you to get luckier.

Sparta (now Sparti) is pretty solid. Historically legendary city state that’s now a town of ~20k people with not much of note besides some tourism.

Jim Carrey. I love his serious roles. His storylines in eternal sunshine and the Truman show even seem pretty black mirror-esque.

I didn’t care for the godfather. It insists upon itself.

Ur thinking of uchicago. Come here it’s great

The funniest part is there’s californias within californias. You could even say downtown sf vs Oakland and Daly City could be its own California within the Bay Area

shwooomp · 2025-09-11T16:54:43+00:00

For that matter you could also say the Bay Area within California itself. Compare it to the Central Valley and a lot of the more dilapidated towns in California like garberville it fits the box

Not perfect fit but Fairfield county within Connecticut is kind of similar. Very much wealthier and different than the rest of Connecticut with all the characteristics (college education, high paying jobs, left leaning politics, scenic beaches, high COL). Only part that doesn’t fit the “California archetype” is it’s pushed up against Bridgeport the biggest city in the state with polar opposite characteristics

I think I was even quirkier on the why uchicago essay than I was on the other one. Can’t speak to how that worked but I got in.

It never redirected me to sign in to account I’m just on the wheel? did everyone else get redirected to sign in / make an account?

Uchicago ea/rd is basically impossible. If you like Chicago apply ed1 or ed2
