Hi, everyone! I’m brand-new to this forum–well, I’ve been lurking for a little while–and I was finally prompted to join in order to get some insight as May 1st gets closer and closer. I was accepted to Chicago EA, but was only recently able to visit. I did so really hoping to like U of C, as it’s been hovering among my top choices for some time. Even though the campus is gorgeous and the people were very friendly, it seemed to me that the school was really lacking in some sense of community.
Now, I get that this isn’t your typical rah-rah sports-centric college–and I’m totally happy about that–but I was hoping to get a better sense of cohesiveness on campus.

Can any current or former students comment? Would you say this is true, or did I simply get a bad read during my visit?
