It was winter break, so no one was really around besides the international students, who were the tour guides. I really liked them though. [View Full Report]

Every student I talked to was open, social, and very interested in learning / intellectual. The stereotypes of Chicago are not true. [View Full Report]

Many of the students were holed up in the library studying, but the ones that were paroled were friendly to my large-ish tour group. [View Full Report]

Students were very friendly, and seemed eager to shatter the image of Chicago as the "place where fun comes to die." [View Full Report]

Tour guide seemed friendly at first but turned out to be a jerk...tried to *entertain* us with his improv jokes...fell flat because he was up all night studying for an exam. Shoulda called in sick. [View Full Report]

Typical of big city campus; few people made eye contact or smiled in passing. When we stopped to ask directions the response was friendly and helpful. Students seemed friendly with each other. [View Full Report]

A questioner during the info session said Chicago seemed more sci/eng than drama/arts and a student quickly interrupted and said, WE DON'T HAVE AN ENGINEERING PROGRAM. [View Full Report]

Very friendly and helpful. UChicago is known for having very intellectually serious students. I was expecting solemn and expressionless faces, but in reality, the students had so much PERSONALITY. [View Full Report]

I really can't judge since I didn't meet with any students. It was like a ghost town. [View Full Report]

Actually started the conversations with me. You would think the nerds at UChicago might be a little reserved and anti-social, but that is not the case at all. [View Full Report]
