How does UChicago compare with Ivy leagues??

A friend of mine at Duke has a mother who went to UC. Being from the Chicago area, he had been to the campus many times, for various reasons.

When I mentioned I was interested in applying, he vehemently told me not to, saying it’s where fun goes to die.

I get the distinct impression the school is on par academically with most Ivies, but the atmosphere is distinctively somber.
