<p>I always thought that most people chose to major in economics in Chicago, but this site: <a href=“http://www.college.uchicago.edu/about_the_college/facts.shtml#majors[/url]”>http://www.college.uchicago.edu/about_the_college/facts.shtml#majors&lt;/a&gt; says only about 10.00% do so. That is still the majority but I would have thought it would be around 30%. </p>
