Do you think that, for example, an introductory economics course, or Latin course, or math course, or biology course, is generally harder at Chicago than at Harvard?
Phuriku and I can't answer this question, but if you start poking around these boards, see if you can get somebody to send you syllabi from various courses and their potential equivalents at other schools.

My general impression is that the easiest courses here are harder than the easiest courses at other schools of comparable prestige. I would be lying if I said that I worked a lot, and if I went to another school, I imagine that either a) I would put in about as many hours as I do now, or b) I would be very unhappy because I either 1) wasn't putting as much time into work as I thought I should or 2) other students weren't putting time into work. So I think I'm in the best situation for me.
