Thank you everyone! Your responses really put me at ease. She loves UChicago and is looking forward to attending. From everything I’ve read here and elsewhere, I think she will love it. It sounds like the perfect place for her with its blend of academic rigor, supportive intellectual peers, a vibrant housing system, and the opportunity to explore the cultural and culinary aspects of Chicago. Homesickness will definitely be an issue, but there is a possibilty that one of her closest friends will get accepted and attend as well. If not, it will be a learning experience. As for me, I miss deep dish pizza and can’t wait to visit myself!
