Well, that’s a good start for Chicago. My S considers one of his roommates a “Renaissance” Man. Interested in everything, good artist, might study math, might study physics. I have no idea why Chicago was selected as best for undergraduate. I am a little suspect of Princeton Review I think there is a little marketing going on but I find it intersting that my son has met a number of students at Chicago that only applied to Univ of Chicago. Chicago has a reputation for grabbing kids who have been accepted to “more prestigious” schools because of the fit. You will find drinking at Chicago but much less than at other schools. The layout at Chicago as you probably know is very convenient. The Max Pavleski dorm is close to the dining hall, the library and the campus. Very convenient. Why do you think your son was accepted at Harvard. Does Harvard offer things to him that you do not belive might be available at Chicago? Besides the name of course.
