<p>I think you’re kind of right - learning permeates everything at the University of Chicago. It’s in the conversations in coffee shops, un-official debates in student apartments, wandering through the Quads at 9am. It’s a culture of passionate intellectual engagement, and it stems from the Core: we’ve all taken similar classes, and all read similar texts, so there’s an understanding that almost everything you say will be understood by your fellow students.
Honestly, I’ve learnt more from the people sitting across from me at lunch sometimes that I have from the classroom.</p>
