I think you’ve summarized some of the differences pretty well, and I think you understand some of what you might miss at UChicago. That’s the problem with tough choices, sometimes: we don’t get everything.

If you end up choosing Stanford, you could probably choose courses that partially replicate Chicago’s Core. However, you would lose the advantage of being part of a group of students who are studying a large amount of overlapping material, and thus an environment that is better for discussion. You might not miss the weather in Chicago, though.

Good luck with your decision!
