<p>For whatever it’s worth, years ago when I was at the UofC as an undergrad, I had a professor graduated from Yale and taught at both Yale and Stanford prior to the UofC. His thoughts regarding those places were simple and straightforward. Stanford and Yale were good places and you would no doubt get a great education at those places; however, you would not get the same kind of intellectual challenges as you would at the UofC. It’s a hard-core education, but it will prepare you for life, and you’ll be more well-rounded as a human being. I went to CMU for grad school, and I can tell you that it’s easier than the 4 years I had at the UofC. Having said that, I still would go back to the UofC if I could do it all over again.</p>
