<p>I like answering questions anew anyway. Let's take these one at a time:</p>
<p>1) Is it possible to double major? Prohibitively difficult, given the high standard of academics? </p>
<p>Nope, it's very possible to double major, and with a few exceptions of majors that one applies to (Law Letters, fundamentals), you can call yourself whatever major you want.</p>
<p>I'm looking to take a double degree in Economics and Urban Planning, any info on that? In the first place, do you guys know if UChicago offers Urban Planning/any other similar courses? Tried finding out about that on the school website but it didn't really offer much info.</p>
<p>--Don't think we have an Urban Planning program, but you can always cobble together courses about cities. I was once interested in only schools with Urban Studies, but given that the field is frightfully small, I decided I was better with history/sociology/econ/anthro classes about cities than a program called Urban Planning or Urban Studies. Because we are in a city, the city often serves as a place of academic focus and is often a theme in courses.</p>
<p>2) How hard is it to enter honors class or graduate with honors in Econ?</p>
<p>Hard enough that not everybody does it. Hard is one of these relative words, like "spicy," so it's hard (ha) for me to know what's hard for you.</p>
<p>3) What's the typical class size for a module in Econ?</p>
<p>I checked timeschedules, which has class size info. Intro has 240 kids, but from there the classes take a sharp turn down and most have a cap at 40 students.</p>
<p>4) What do UChicago students do for fun on weekends? Do they go out to the city a lot? For me, one of the greatest draws of the school is that its situated right in the middle of America's largest metropolises, and I'm the kind who would love to explore the city and have fun whenever I'm free. Are there many people like me as well?</p>
<p>A clarification is that we are NOT in the middle of Chicago, but in our own neighborhood called Hyde Park. You're not going to be able to walk to the Sears Tower in between classes, but you will be able to venture downtown in your free time. Having a city is a big draw for many, and considering that most every neighborhood is accessible from Hyde Park, it's not that difficult to get around. There are days when I go downtown twice in a day.</p>
<p>Students do a variety of things for fun, some use the city more than others. You can attend student events like cultural shows, concerts, etc. or you might find yourself at a frat party, an apartment party, or just "hanging out." If you don't like the idea of drinking/drugs, you can stay sober and still enjoy yourself socially, and if you do, you'll find what you're looking for.</p>
<p>5) Are UChicago students so interested in their coursework that they actually lose out in terms of experiencing the many varied experiences college has to offer?</p>
<p>I guess all Chicago students have to figure out a balance regarding what they love to do, and they have to realize that there isn't enough time in the world to do evvverything. When I was in high school, I was much more active in solitary pursuits like reading, watching movies, writing, etc. and in college I switched gears to become much more social. It may take a while to figure our what is worth spending time on for you, but I think you'll also find activities to get passionate about.</p>
