<p>Hi, I’m thinking of applying to University of Chicago this year. I was wondering if anyone could tell me about their experience there, the environment, campus life, what made it special, etc. Thanks!</p>
<p>I have found that these links help convey what is special about the academic environment at Chicago:</p>
<p>[The</a> University of Chicago Magazine: October 2003](<a href=“http://magazine.uchicago.edu/0310/features/zen.shtml]The”>The University of Chicago Magazine: October 2003)

[Education</a> in the Interrogative Mode](<a href=“University of Chicago News”>University of Chicago News)</p>
<p>And its very real sense of humor about itself.</p>
<p>A quick search of this forum will find many discussions of social life at Chicago.</p>
