Hey guys, I'm a prospective applicant and would really appreciate it if any of you could take some time off to answer these questions I have about UChicago:

1) Is it possible to double major? Prohibitively difficult, given the high standard of academics? I'm looking to take a double degree in Economics and Urban Planning, any info on that? In the first place, do you guys know if UChicago offers Urban Planning/any other similar courses? Tried finding out about that on the school website but it didn't really offer much info.

2) How hard is it to enter honors class or graduate with honors in Econ?

3) What's the typical class size for a module in Econ?

4) What do UChicago students do for fun on weekends? Do they go out to the city a lot? For me, one of the greatest draws of the school is that its situated right in the middle of America's largest metropolises, and I'm the kind who would love to explore the city and have fun whenever I'm free. Are there many people like me as well?

5) Are UChicago students so interested in their coursework that they actually lose out in terms of experiencing the many varied experiences college has to offer?

Thanks so much!
