<p>My dd14 is considering application to this school next fall. I am glad that this thread was started by OP. As a mother from CT, I feel it important to get the views of students who are currently enrolled. I have heard wonderful things about the school but also want to know about the down/dirty side as well. I am a bit older than you guys (just a bit :)) and I have come to realize that racism/stereotypes/prejudice exists everywhere and it can’t be escaped. </p>
<p>I am a nurse and when working on a unit, its always assumed that I am either a nurses aid or the housekeeper. LOL Even while standing at the medication cart dispensing meds! LOL It used to hurt alot when I was younger, but now I just laugh it off.</p>
<p>Good luck to you all. We will be visiting UofChicago next spring(when the weather breaks) and hope to have a great tour/visit.</p>
