Any campus in a big city is going to have problems, but U of C campus seemed a little dicier to me than most.
The campus is beautiful, though. The faculty is top notch. It's a very academic school. The students are very smart and very serious.

Yeah, after visiting U of C, she didn't end up applying there and applied to Wellesley instead.
No worries, she didn't have her heart set on Wash U and she's fine with not being accepted. Going on college confidential and seeing some of the stats of kids who didn't get in... it's amazing. She's in very good company in being rejected from Wash U!
