When I visited Swarthmore College, one of the things that struck me was the feeling that a big part of campus life is multiculturalism and social issues. I remember when I looked at the bulletin board in the admissions building, it was full of fliers either promoting multiculturalism or talks about political and social issues. This was also reflected in the fact that pretty much all the clubs that gave ‘specs’ introductions were about multicultural/social issue organizations.

It seems like UChicago doesn’t really have such a presence on the campus. It’s not a bad thing, but I’m writing this because I’m trying to differentiate the student body of both schools. It seems like UChicago would be more about hardcore academics. What do you think?
