<p>As an alum, it is heartening to see that the U of C is getting lots of play on the CC boards as a viable alternative to various Ivy’s and other select colleges/universities in the East and other parts of the country. No longer is it just threads that ask comparisons of the University to Northwestern. And the “Second City” has improved so much over the last 10 to 15 years with urban renewal and revitalization (say “Millenium Park”) around the Loop, North Side, and South Side that the U of C becomes even a stronger competitor. Watch out “Wash U”, the U of C’s stock is rising.</p>
<p>I think my stock might also be rising…</p>
