<p>Hey there! I am an international student from Germany who wants to apply to the University of Chicago. I need some inspiration for my "Why Chicago?" essay which is the reason why I created this thread.
I don't have the opportunity to visit the University because of the great distance. That's why I would like to ask you guys what makes U o. C. unique?
Why did you decide to apply there?</p>
<p>Thanks for any ideas!</p>
<p>Because it looks like freakin' Hogwarts. Even Harry Potter must be jealous. What more can I say?</p>
<p>I didn't get to visit the University either, so no worries. Have you taken a gander at the promo materials on the Uncommon App site? Although it's PR, you can still get a feel for the school from them, and if you wander around the rest of the site enough, you'll probably be able to find a million more reasons why you'd like to go there. Remember -- this is why you want to apply and what attracts you to UChi. In essence, I decided to apply there because I felt like a good fit for the school and I think I'd be happy there, and I'm sure that's the foundation of why most others apply as well. The trick is to figure out why. Explore and find out!</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
