<p>As to friendly and outgoing, I think it depends on the type of students you hang around with at UChicago. I know all types of students, though the common trend is that people are interesting, everyone has their own quirk. Everyone is passionate about something, and yes, some people are not good at communicating fully and there is a strong presence of nerds, gamers, loners and wacky people, most of these people still have friends. Not everyone is going to be able to converse with everyone else, and the quirkiness vibe does attract probably more socially awkward students, this isn’t a bad thing.</p>
