What don't you like about U Chicago?

<p>

Sometimes socially awkward people are so self-centered that they don’t realize that they insult easily (this happens all the time everywhere and I don’t think there’s a higher occurrence of self-centered people at Chicago than elsewhere, but I do think that the Chicago self-centered tend to deviate from socially tolerated norms a bit more).

<p>I was invited to a social gathering filled with ~30people and most of them were grad students from art and religion departments. I had a VERY short chat with this religion professor:</p>

<p>…
I: I go to Northwestern
Prof: what’s your major?
I: chemical engineering
Prof: what are you going to do with it (condescending tone)?!
I: probably going to…blah blah (thinking, “you think your area is so useful, huh?”) </p>
