Admitted students, what is UChicago really like?

<p>Rising sophomores, juniors, seniors, what has been your experience there so far? What is UChicago like as a school? How does it feel studying there/living there?</p>

<p>Going to add to this post…also could you tell what the crime and stuff is like?</p>

<p>There are numerous threads on this topic, so definitely check those out to get a feel and then you can get into more specific questions. </p>

<p>Also, the crime topic has been discussed extensively, but long story short, as long as you use common sense and are aware of your surroundings, you won’t run into issues. Also, if you find out about something cool south of 60th street (which for a lot of people here is a no-go) in one of the safer neighborhoods, go with a few buddies and try it out - the south side has a lot to offer!</p>
