Idad-

Yes, I think for the majority of the students who go there, there are lots of ways to have fun.

Worth-

I see what you’re saying about the University attempting to shed it’s image, but I doubt they are going to change it too radically. I am a varsity athlete as well, but I still think it’s more important to emphasize academic interests. This is how U of C has always been, and it’s why their students were so attracted to it. Plus, the alumni would have a fit if they thought the school was trying to change their image to a less intense, “fun” one. Actually, a few years back, the president of Princeton switched to the University of Chicago and tried to make the University more like Princeton…more laidback and party-like, but the alumni were so incensed by this that they actually voted to remove him from the position.
