 " I quite enjoy attending the university. It is certainly not for everyone as the environment can be quite intense and academically focused at times. In addition the quarter system means that classes move very quickly. For people who are up for the fast pace, and enjoy learning, the school is a great choice. "

 " As a quarter-system school, everything is quite fast paced. There are a lot of class-related and course-related resources available, so make good use of them. You are required take a total of 42 classes (if you don't have any credits you can carry over from high school), which means you would need to space out your requirements well. Generally, you need to have 6 quarters with 4 classes and 6 quarters with 3 classes (if you are not planning on taking any summer classes).   The school does offer a few "September courses" which are 3.5-week study abroad courses in September, before the start of the Fall Quarter, so applying for those will be both useful and fun. Also, I would suggest trying to fulfilling the core requirements during your earlier years, so that you can have mixture of only major requirements and elective requirements to fulfill later on. You will most likely have less workload this way. "

 " A world-class institution with a lot of past sins to account for re: landholdings, redlining, and gentrification. The safety concerns of this campus are largely perceptual, and likely racist in nature. Administration and development offices are certainly putting a lot more bets on The College, thereby making it a residential campus. "

 " Really Great school, I loved the library, in fact, all of their buildings are amazing. All of my professors were experts in their fields and clearly have a passion for teaching. They also all research into very specific yet interesting areas, and work in an interdisciplinary framework. The faculties supported exploration and are fazed by non-traditional approaches to questions. "

 " You have to be a specific type of person to come to UChicago and you'll know it. Make sure you research, talk to people you know and see if it's a good fit for you. It's hard for non-white and female students for sure, but it's important to find your community. "
