<p>My son (2nd year) actually likes the fact that U Chicago does not have an instant name recognition among the “normal” folks. He said it’s much easier to move in out and out of any kind of circle without having the “guarded” reaction from people when they hear ultra elite school name. </p>
<p>On the other hand, people he actually needs to impress (interviewer for internship, etc) have plenty respect for the institution.</p>
<p>In short, a perfect combination for him.</p>
