does UChicago deserve "where fun goes to die" rep?

is there really no social life there? or is it a different kind of fun?

There is certainly a social life here, but it’s not in your face. You can go out and party on week nights if you want to but in reality most of the students here care more about doing well in the long run than going out to drink right this instant. Greek life throws lots of parties, and there are usually house parties that you can go to as well if you want. They’re your standard college party fare, although you will hear often snippets of philosophical and political discussion
