jbruner, Chicago’s campus is pretty open. The area it is in isn’t the greatest, and the atmosphere at the University is very serious, but the campus is nice and open.

I definitely agree that it isn’t worth paying double the price to attend Michigan when the alternative is UNC. But I think that applies to most universities save perhaps Harvard, or Princeton or Yale. But, if you are good enough to consider applyong to Stanford, then Michigan may give you a significant merit scholarship and Michigan’s appication is easy to fill out, so you lose nothing. However, remember that if you wish to apply to Michigan and want to be considered for a merit scholarship, you must apply before November.

One school I forgot about is MIT. MIT has very strong Econ, Philosophy and Politica Science departments too.
