<p>“I feel UChicago is a “studyaholic” atmosphere”
True. Chicago is NOT for the student who is looking for a more “normal” college experience. It IS the right college for those who have a passion for learning ABOVE ALL ELSE. You will have to work harder at Chicago than at just about any other college in the US. But if you want the opportunity to be around students who share your passion for learning, if you want to really learn how to think, not just learn facts, and if you want what is widely considered to be one of the best intellectual preparations for grad school, Chicago is the place to go.</p>
