<p>I haven’t visited UCLA or UVA, but it seems Chicago students just don’t have as much time to spend on personal appearance. When you have sometimes 6 sets of midterms and 3 sets of finals in a given year, with midterms ranging from 3rd week-10th week, you’re going to have to give something up.
There are all different kinds of looks here, and that is what I love about Uchicago. Some people here care more than others about the way they look, and it shows. Then there are people who like to experiment with their looks. Overall, I think intelligence is prized over beauty, and most girls go for a more natural look.</p>
