What makes U of C so 'unique'?

<p>I get the sense that none of the students there had to masturbate their egos in high school by telling all their acquaintances that they were going to the University of Chicago, because they knew most of their acquaintances had no idea the school existed (or assumed it was some public school that was a safety; in that case they were half right for most of us here =])!</p>

<p>Obama will change all of that.</p>
