Does UChicago live up to its "extremely hard" reputation?

See post above–he covers it well: hard courses, quick moving quarter system, intellectual superiority, peers are obsessed with academics and spend lots of time in library, emphasis on theoretical thought, tough grading, and much suffering. I think UChi is one of 3 hardest schools in the country (including Columbia)–along with MIT and Caltech. Bar none!!
