For UChicago, I would be more likely to say different rather than better necessarily.
UChicago literally is one the top schools for economics. Academically, its arguably the most rigorous and demanding economics programs in America.

However, that does not mean that it necessarily will give you a better education than say Duke or Northwestern. All three schools have great economics programs, and from what I’ve heard, economics at the undergrad level is pretty much all top quality at premier institutions which all the mentioned three schools are.

But what do you mean by BETTER? Is it hiring prospects? Grad school acceptances? Pure academic/educational quality?
