What is University Of Chicago?
1.
where fun goes to die, on the south side of chicago.
I knew this really cool kid but he ended up at u of c. he now writes angst-ridden poetry and has forgotten what sunlight looks like.
2.
An elite private university where the work is hard and the name recognition sucks, but the monetary payoff (for some majors, at least) is ridiculously awesome.
"So where did you go to school?"
"The University of Chicago."
"Sweet, me too! What fast food restaurant are you working at?"
"No, no, not the University of Illinois at Chicago. The University of Chicago. I got a degree in Economics there and now I'm making 120k a year on Wall Street."
"Oh. Would you like fries with that?"
