For about three days in December of my senior I fell completely in love with MIT. I loved what I thought was the brainy playfulness of the school, I loved the idea of the infinite corridor, I loved reading blogs by admissions officer Ben Jones, I loved the idea of being a humanities major and a female around a lot of math/science major males (in high school, I was a math nerd by default, because somehow it was more socially acceptable to be a math nerd than it was an English/History nerd).

However, I realized that MIT’s humanities/social sciences offerings were limited in comparison to other schools…and my love for the U of C was confirmed when Ben blogged on “other schools you might want to consider besides MIT” and the ONLY non math/science school that made the list was Chicago.
