<p>I applied to both schools, but have only visited Columbia.
The vibe that I got on campus at Columbia was pretty laid-back, with really cool student tour guides and a good community feel.
All that I knew about Chicago before applying+CC came from the ~10 packages that they sent me in September/October/November. I got the feeling that UChicago is just as intellectually stimulating as Columbia, but more quirky and offbeat, which suits my style 
Plus, I love both cities. They’re both large and withhold many internship opportunities (something that I will be looking forward to)</p>
