<p>Just a quick note on this. CAPS is really geared toward people entering business careers. That’s not to say that they’re useless for other careers, but I’d say that a good majority of their services cater toward students looking into consulting, banking, publishing, and the like. Also, CAPS won’t really find a job for you if that’s what you’re looking for. They’ll tell you how, they’ll help you with your applications, and they’ll point you to a few opportunities. But don’t expect them to go out of their way too much. I’ve also heard plenty of horror stories about the Chicago Careers in Health Professions (CCiHP) advisors. UChicago is pretty focused on a) getting students into graduate schools, and b) getting its students into prestigious business careers. Other than that, the school could use some work on its career advising.</p>
<p>Another quick note about the study abroad office: it’s not that stellar. It’s hard to find their information online, and study abroad doesn’t seem to run as smoothly as it could. There are plenty of good programs offered, and there are plenty of people to help you make it happen. But there are some logistical issues, and the study abroad office isn’t as well-coordinated as those at other schools. </p>
<p>I don’t want to come off as too negative about these things, but these are definitely some things I wish I had known coming in. You will certainly have the support to make great opportunities for yourself, but expect to have to do some of the work yourself in securing them.</p>
