<p>Hey all. I've heard UChicago is big on academics, but do they ever just sit back and have a couple of shots. Some beers. Anything?</p>
<p>No, so I guess you shouldnt apply.</p>
<p>I was already accepted.</p>
<p>Cocktails or beer more likely than shots.</p>
<p>They had a two halloween activities in a dorm that I have become familiar with this year. One is they invited in the neighborhood kids and let them trick or treat safely in the dorm, the other was were the students went door to door drinking a shot of whatever was offered...</p>
<p>I was wondering the same thing, but not exactly. Somehow the stars aligned and I got in just about everywhere I applied (including being pulled out of the deferred pile without sending in more information @ UofC), and I was wondering what the social life is like at Chicago. I am ready to make the grades but I want to have a little fun too. What is the social scene like?</p>
<p>As far as I read, UChicago students prefer hard drinks and there is little social drinking - most people drink to get drunk fast and they have a 'study hard party hard' mentality. I guess social drinking isnt that common in many colleges though.</p>
<p>bump........</p>
<p>This is crazy. Of course kids at Chicago drink. I live in Hyde Park near the campus. You think I see kids walking around discussing Plato on Saturday night?</p>
<p>Every weekend, campus police, who patrol the surrounding community too, spend most of their time after dark taking passed out students to the ER. Draw your own conclusions.</p>
<p>What is different at UofC is that the drinking does not usually start Thursday or continue through Monday.</p>
