<p>The academics at Chicago are amazing - it’s known as the hub of intellectualism. It’s social sciences departments are amazing - especially economics and sociology. Its physics department is amazing as well - specifically modern physics and astrophysics. The biology and chemistry departments are great too, and overall, it’s known as one of the most international schools in the world.</p>
