<p>Are there no sports whatsoever at UChicago?! What do students do for recreation (except solving physics problems ;) )?</p>
<p>There are sports! If you don't know that then research the school some more. ;)</p>
<p>Oh crap....I missed the intramural sports link :o</p>
<p>Apologies for this topic.</p>
<p>No..wait...there is still the second part! :D</p>
<p>There are IM, club, and varsity sports of all types.</p>
<p>People do for fun whatever they want to do for fun. People party, get drunk, go downtown, watch movies in their dorm or at the theater or at Doc, hang out with their friends, cook meals, go shopping, do math problems, play video/computer games, volunteer, play music, dance, play sports, go on Facebook, read, sleep, have sex, go bowling, go out to eat, go to concerts, go to museums, play board games, go on dates, participate in RSOs (registered student organizations--clubs, in other words), talk on the phone, etc., etc.</p>
<p>I think that the idea that there is no fun a U of Chicago is really ludicrous. My child just finished her first year there and probably had more fun than ever before. While she studied hard ( but no harder than her friends at other highly regarded schools ) she also had time to be in two choirs, one of which she did a tour of California with, play some intramural sports, participate in international dinners, go to film festivals at the DOC, practice martial arts and getting a yellow belt ( all included in the tuition )ice skating, spend time in the City of Chicago going to theatre, concerts and restaurants ( As well as on campus and in the neighborhood), translating poetry with friends, and on and on. The school is chock full of opportunities to enjoy yourself in addition to the pleasure that you get from your academics. In short it is a fantastic and enjoyable place to be.</p>
<p>jeeez... and some people say you cant have fun at UChicago!</p>
