by Lambira  - Top 1000, Dec 24 '99
Pros: Top school, excellent professors, academics, program structure, and students.
Cons: Cumbersome course bidding system, long lines at the cafeteria during breaks.
I began my part-time MBA program at the University of Chicago in the fall of '97, choosing Chicago over Northwestern for a few reasons. As a person whose career is in marketing and promotions, I wanted to take my medicine and put some time in with a...

Pros: Superlative education, if you look around
Cons: Tough neighborhood, weak social life. PC to a fault
The University of Chicago is one of the world's foremost institutions of higher learning. You can receive an unparalleled undergraduate education here, if you are willing to make some trade-offs--like having a normal social life. Caveat: I did not go ...

Pros: Great education, near downtown Chicago, small-sized classes, great for students with initiative
Cons: can be impersonal
A professor told me during my second year, "The U of C can be a cold and impersonal place." He was right. You can go into a classroom, and although you may know the people in the room, rarely will anyone talk. Mostly people will just sit...

Pros: Intense discussions, some activities popular
Cons: Not for everyone, or even for most people
I'm currently taking some time off from the U of Chicago, and while I do miss the great academics, I can't say the same for the university's social atmosphere. As at any college, experiences vary; but here, most of them seem to center around studying...

Pros: superior education
Cons: incredible lack of sleep; you will pull several all-nighters, often in a row
Attending the University of Chicago was the best choice that I ever made. It was extremely difficult at times, but always rewarding. This was my first choice of schools, even though I didn't visit here before packing up and moving out from New Jersey....

Pros: Super Education, Great professors and classmates.
Cons: No access to recruiting for part-time students.
It expands your mind. The main benefit of going through a Part-Time MBA program is a sudden realization that the middle class mentality bubble in which I existed in my previous life has been broken. I am no longer satisfied to plod along with other...

Pros: theoretically strong
Cons: does not prepare for "real world"
The University of Chicago has a great reputation. The academics are very strong and it appears that many nobel prizes are awarded to the faculty their. And it shows through the faculty. I had found that most of the faculty were very pompous, at least...

Pros: Demanding, difficult, difficult.
Cons: Expensive, demanding, difficult.
What is my relation to the U of C? I'm in a one-year MA-Humanities program - so I don't have the depth or breadth of experience of an undergrad or a full PhD student, but I've discerned a lot about the place in my 6 months here so far.
The U...

Pros: well rounded education, bright students
Cons: cold, dreary Hyde Park
Don't be dissuaded by the title. I'm not on the lifetime learning program here at the U of C. I graduated in 1996 with a BS in math and finished off the requirements for the econ BA-- during my time, they weren't granting dual degrees, so officially, I...

Pros: you're a person, not a number... The "uncommon" application
Cons: none!
I just underwent the college admissions process. Not a fun experience, I must say. First you have to narrow it down to a reasonable number of schools. Then you have to fill out applications. Then you have to choose one school, perhaps the hardest...

Pros: Pass / fail, great research opportunities, good success in matching into residency programs of choice
Cons: Hyde Park isn't very safe
I graduated from Pritzker School of Medicine in '96. Please don't judge the intelligence of the graduates by my review, as I'm going to write this fairly quickly - thought I'd share what I think are highlights of the program. Obviously check out the...

Pros: One of the top schools/hospitals in the country to have listed on your resume.
Cons: Very bad neighborhood surrounding a beautiful campus
The University of Chicago and the University of Chicago Hospitals is full of diverse people. In your average class of 15 students 80% of those people have really diverse ethnic and academic backgrounds. One can learn alot about other cultures while...

Pros: academic/historical significance; rigorous education; access to elite jobs; grad schools will love you
Cons: grade deflation; lack of layperson name recognition
Come to the University of Chicago if...
- you don't mind people mistaking your alma mater for a community college (it may seem like a non-issue now but just wait until you have to tell your classmate in law school from University of Michigan...

by joetoth , Apr 28 '00
Pros: Unparalelled education
Cons: Cold
I was well-acquanted with the legend of the University of Chicago by the time that I set foot in Hyde Park, so much so, that I already had a backup transfer-to-Dartmouth plan before I ever set foot on the campus. I was sort of a party-guy in high...

Pros: Intellectual atmosphere, great academics, beautiful campus
Cons: Hyde Park is surrounded by bad neighborhoods, Chicago weather
I attended the U of C's Spring Open House in March of this year, and it was a wonderful chance to see the campus. But more importantly, I got the details on the things every prospective student wants (and needs) to know: admission, financial aid, study...
