See also Wikipedia's article about "University of Chicago".

The University of Chicago is best-known as the university "where fun goes to die". Students even wear T-shirts proclaiming this sad fact.

In fact, the university has such a scary reputation that few apply, and thus almost half get in. Students take pride in the so-called "Uncommon Application," since there is little else about which to be proud.

Chicago claims to have either an older or more rigorous Core Curriculum than Columbia. Both assertions are dubious.

However, Columbia did plagiarize the concept for its Committee on Global Thought from Chicago's prestigious Committee on Social Thought.
