Would my son fit???

My son felt the school was a degree factory. He said many of the students had no interest in learning and were only there to get the degree and make big bucks (which is what he thought he wanted going in…). He found the frat scene to be huge, despite the spin the school puts on that issue. He hated the first year classes- very impersonal and not particularly good teachers. He found the school totally dominated by its famous pre-professional business program. He had a very active social life- in fact, I feel he was a little in over his head with that. Grades stayed good, miraculously. He thought the city campus was a hassle- much more so than UChicago would be (I know this from experience).
