<p>S1 chose Chicago over Reed, though he really liked it, because of his impression that Chicago was much more diverse and tolerant of opposing political views. From multiple visits, he found that though the coursework was rigorous at Reed, there seemed to be less outside of class “intellectual” discussion than at Chicago. His over night stays were quite different as well, with Chicago’s much better. He did not let that color his decision too much because of the limited sample. It still was a tough choice that was made at the last minute.</p>
