hey I got into UChicago and am crazy excited and shocked by it but now am indecisive about going. My older brother went to UChicago and loved it and I visited him a bunch when he was in undergrad but that was like four years ago. I would consider myself weird in certain aspects but many if my friends are pretty normal/super social. In high school I'm friends with nerdy type kids but also roll with other crowds. After reading facebook posts and personal testimonies the idea of attending UChicago sounds nightmarish.
Obviously bc I applied and had an older sibling go there I know what I would be getting myself into. I know UChicago more than any other school but felt like I could always manage if I went there bc I like academics and weird kids. When I visited my brother I was obsessed with the people. They were super friendly, funny, and kinda quirky. However the kids I've seen online and met on campus were weird in a different way, like super outspoken and intense. Although I love dif ppl I don't see myself finding friends with those crowds. Nothing against them, not saying anything bad I just personally am afraid I won't find people I love if I choose to go. It's a bummer bc I love the school but for some reason everyone I've met have a totally different vibe from the kids that went to school with my brother.
Sorry if this post was obnoxious, thanks if you read it all the way through. If anyone has any opinions about people on campus that be great. If I go, BJ will prob be my top dorm choice.
