Very Chill

UChicago is the kind of place where students police themselves. In the dorms, the RAs are really chill and there isn't actually a formal way to get "written up," for alcohol or anything, although they still expect you to try and behave responsibly (most people do, even if drinking). The campus police are great with students. they may show up to a loud party in a fraternity or an apartment but they will rarely do anything beyond telling people to go home.

No Place Better

I loved my time at UChicago. Yes, you're coming here to work hard, and you will-- classes are intense and you'll be expected to learn a lot. There isn't grade inflation here, so you will work for your A, although it is still possible to get one (or many) if you're willing to put in the effort. You'll come out with a really unparalleled academic experience in my opinion. Outside of class, PEOPLE DO REALLY HAVE FUN!! This is not the kind of school where "fun" is 60,000 people tailgating a football game, but if you want to have great conversations, an awesome housing community, lots of interesting things to do (clubs, large events like Scav Hunt or cultural shows, and hey, anything that the awesome city of Chicago has for you to do, and some parties) this is the perfect place to be. Don't believe the "where fun comes to die" rumors-- while we work really hard, this IS a fun place to be.
