My son is in Max P and he says the dorms are good. He said Max P is very ‘comfortable.’ The walk from Max P to Barlett dining hall and the library is very short, and he really likes that. He said the dining hall food is good, although when he got home last week, he actually appreciated the taste of vegetables, compared to the dining hall at Barlett, where sometimes, it doesn’t taste like anything. I’m guessing frozen food is used which would account for the tastelessness?

He sometimes goes to the North dining hall, which is newer. He said Cathay Dining hall probably has the best food.

He didn’t have any opinions on the weather. He said 'it’s fine.’

He also likes the Reg (library) now. (Although he acknowledges that not everyone likes the Reg.) He said there are many spots to study in there.

When he applied to Chicago, the food, the weather, quarters, and dare I say, the ‘Core’ were not criteria in his consideration, let alone a deal breaker.

He really loves the school. Not related to dorms, food, or weather, but he is so impressed with the students. Sitting in his Hum/Sosc classes with freshmen and sophomores, he thought to himself, ‘Wow, powerhouse right here.’
