<p>qizixite- in response to your question, in all my 18-year old wisdom I almost turned down Harvard to follow my gf to Bucknell. A great school in its own right, but definitely would not have exposed me to the academics, people, professors, and career opportunities that I experienced at Harvard. And if U of C is that head and shoulders above your other options, then that’s what I would make my decision on. But that’s just me.</p>
