<p>"It's the same with UChicago. It's a far extreme from thinking it a party school to think of it as a humorless haven for nerds."</p>
<p>Humorless? Ow, that hurts. Especially considering that "Where Fun Comes to Die" is a slogan that we came up with (well, not "we," but a few blokes from Tufts House who decided to curse the school forever), and that Second City was founded by a bunch of U of C students.</p>
<p>Some people don't understand that our humor is in making fun of ourselves. If you don't believe me, check out Dean of Admissions Ted O'Neill's convocation speeches from the past few years... he goes so far as to call the school's song "Requiem for Fun"</p>

<p>I've never visited Middlebury, but from all accounts, it's no more white and preppy than any other LAC in the Northeast.</p>
