My best friend just finished his second year at U of C and he has a pretty active social life. He said he spent most of his time either smoking/drinking with his suitemates or venturing outside of the school, his grades are OKAY (3.02?) so obviously he isn't being studious. The thing is, he changed a lot from his high school years. He became more concerned with prestige and became enveloped in "school spirit", so much so that I cannot even comment on the downsides of U of C without hearing his almost-intuitive rebuttal. He makes bold claims about the "**** poor" public school systems (mainly the UC system) and even makes ridiculous claims about the lack of "academia feel" at the upper tier UC's (Cal, UCLA, and UCSD). I'm just spewing nonsense right now but I hope you realize that $20,000 year is a lot for a school that lacks an Engineering department.
