hard-as-fuck school that no people outside of academia know about. don't go here if you're planning for your future beyond college.

girls are flat hipster-nerds with teenage-boy figure. guys are round, short, jewish from NYC or Chicago suburbs with old-woman physique
Student 1: I'm going to the University of Chicago!
Student 2: Yeah I get shit tons of mail from there, why are you going to a big public school in Chiraq? I thought you got into Princeton and Columbia? I'm going to either Northwestern or Wash U, which are the best schools not on the coasts

Where fun goes up in flames, to be reborn from its ashes. Just like your dreams.
At the University of Chicago, you will die, reincarnate, and die again. Rinse and repeat for all aspects of your character. Trust me, it's fun!

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?"

1. It's U OF C not UIC, morons.

2. The really good school your relatives will have never heard of.
1.

Person 1: "Oh, you go to UIC? Cool!"
U of C student: **sigh**

2.

Grandmother, on hearing you're at the University of Chicago Chicago: "Oh, that's nice dear. But I thought you were smart? Why are you going to a state school?"

1. Ranked the 8th best overall university in the country by U.S. News and World Report.

2. The worst four years of your life.

3. The school that people in Korea know about but people in Chicago don't.

4. Not UIC (University of Illinois in Chicago)
Person 1: Where do you go to school?

Person 2: University of Chicago.

Person 1: Cool! I have a couple of friends that go there!

Person 2: No, you don't. It's U of C, not UIC.

Or,

Man 1: Is that a woman or a tree with warts?

Man 2: Impossible to tell, but she/it looks better than my
last girl friend from this school. Let's pop some more
anti-anxiety pills, smoke some weed, and drink a bit and see if she'll talk to us. Will you back me up in case I get scared?

Man 1: Please, does E=MC^2? Of course I'll back you up.

Man 2: Thanks, man. Hey, if this doesn't work out, let's go
home and study!
