mermaidgirl: About the core. Current students or recent graduates could answer this better than I can, but i get the sense that it it does not overwhelm course selection and ultimate educational objectives of the students. Also, there is quite a bit of flexibility within the core requirements. One of the good parts about UChicago’s long history with core requirements is that the courses are well thought out, and I get the feeling that core classes are meaningful and not just something to get past. I suppose the bad part is that the core classes do take up class slots over the 12 quarters, and for those who have their educational goals completely thought through, that could be a minus.
