This is probably the #1 question people ask me about UChicago and, I've gotta say, I've met people on campus who really just didn't like it. So in this video, I break down the whole "UChicago is too hard" sentiment, emphasize what's hard about it and how to ~skirt past the hardness~ and describe the kinds of people who end up doing well on campus!
