UChicago if you're not premed or popular major

<p>The selection of applicants and parents posting to any school’s forum rarely says anything about the school itself.</p>

<p>Thanks for the find, JHS. According to this document I was in a “very big” major with about 70 other undergrads.</p>

<p>My best friends from college were in majors with about 10 or 6 others, it looks like (art history, geography, linguistics, computer science + linguistics) but if you look at the course offerings at collegecatalog.uchicago.edu you can see that even for small departments the offerings are robust.</p>

<p>Any student interested in studying Chinese language and culture at UChicago should know that the University runs three different study abroad opportunities in Beijing (<a href=“https://study-abroad.uchicago.edu/programs[/url]”>https://study-abroad.uchicago.edu/programs&lt;/a&gt;)</p>

<p>The “hack culture” is probably not as predominant at UChicago as it would be at a school like MIT, say. ([Enrollment</a> Statistics: MIT Office of the Registrar](<a href=“Statistics & Reports | MIT Registrar”>Statistics & Reports | MIT Registrar)) It’s 30 majors in CS compared to 130 at MIT. But there is a “hack at uchicago” organization.</p>
