<p>Out of curiosity, what is the academic reputation of Smith in regards to schools like Carleton and UChicago. Do you imagine UChicago is a great deal more rigorous?</p>
<p>Honestly, the feeling I got was that UChicago is more rigorous. For instance, I'm a math major, and when discussing the Budapest Semesters in Mathematics, at Smith they said that the school at Budapest would probably have harder problems and a more rigorous course. I cannot imagine that UChicago can say that any school anywhere, except maybe MIT, is more rigorous.</p>
