The University of Chicago has a strong economics program and a culture of rigorous academic inquiry.
DownersThe rigor of the University of Chicago's academics can lead to an unhealthy work life balance.
CommentsMany employers are looking to hire students from the University of Chicago, making it a good choice for students interested in business.
Would You RecommendYes
Great classes, full of information. Looks impressive on a curriculum
DownersHas become too much like Ivy League schools. Also kinda of unsafe.
CommentsIt is worth it. Wonderful school. You will learn a lot.
Would You RecommendYes
The University of Chicago has small class sizes that are taught by actual, engaged professors who show a genuine interest in teaching undergraduates. If you are interested in grad school, this is the place to be. People are exceedingly smart, for the most part friendly, and Hyde Park is now a wonderful place. (Don't listen to those who attended the school more than 5 years ago--the neighborhood has totally changed.)
DownersThe career services for undergraduates who aren't in a few select fields (e.g. economics) are not very good. They have an especially hard time helping students translate humanities degrees into employment skills.
CommentsThis school isn't for students who want easy grades.
Would You RecommendYes
Extremely smart people
Challenging curriculum with choice of depth and breadth
Supportive career office
DownersSometimes confused with "University of Illinois at Chicago"
Neurotic student body
Strong emphasis on academics over internships
Harsh winters
CommentsThe school represents a place where students can study with depth their passions and interests without immediate concerns about the applications of these studies. That turns a lot of people off, but it appeals to many others. Recently, the school has diversified its student body and improved the quality of its student life and career office.
