cool
I am African American and don't understand the review stating racial issues here. This is a very "liberal" university, and as you might expect, essentially everyone here seems very neutral with respect to race. Race seems a non-issue. Not sure what the reviewer is talking about.
Where fun goes to die. That all students here are nerdy and boring. "Where the squirrels are cuter than the girls and more aggressive than the guys." That it's super cutthroat and competitive here. That all students do homework all day long.
Nerdy, anti-social, boring.
kids that spend their entire lives in the library. the whole, 'were fun goes to die' is a popular stereotype about Uchicago.
That we're all weird or "quirky," that we study all the time, that we don't go out, that we're not in touch with the real world.
People always have the conception that our school is nerdy, "fun comes to die," that we don't party, etc.
Nerds who don't know how to have fun. Oh, and thanks to Tucker Max, that all the girls are ugly. Also thanks to Tucker Max, all the guys are jerks. The stereotype ultimately comes down to this is the place "where fun comes to die."
All nerdy, have no fun, study all the time, ugly, socially inept
They study too much, are socially awkward, and unattractive.
People say that the University of Chicago is full of anti-social, awkward smart kids who know nothing about fun and would love nothing better than to sit inside all day.
Nerdy, not sociable, smart, love to talk about school, where fun comes to die.
Nerdy, no fun, study all the time, can't party, ridiculously smart, all econ majors, read all the time, think too much, talk about Foucault at parties, can't play beer pong, rich, in short, don't have fun.
First of all people who have never heard about UChicago tend to pass ignorant remarks about it being a state and all attach all sorts of mediocre stigmas to the school's name. On the other hand, those who do know consider this place to be academic torture or power-house. They think the students here are real snobs, spoilt, rich and very goofy/geeky.
U Chicago students are generally perceived, from without and within, as unusually nerdy and particularly dedicated to hard work and the impassioned pursuit of their academic ideals. They are understood to be quite socially awkward. The University itself has a reputation for being intensely demanding, and is labeled, "where fun comes to die".
Never have fun. Don't go out. Study all the time.
nerdy, ugly, weird, anti-social, strange, intellectual, pretentious, masochists
Chicago is where fun comes to die, where the squirrels are cuter than the girls, where the only thing that goes down on you is your GPA.
Nerdy, serious, arrogant, WHERE FUN GOES TO DIE...
- this is where "fun comes to die" and nobody parties or has fun - students study all the time - students are really weird, intense, and nerdy
Bookworms, nonsocial, elitist, pompous, spoiled rich kids, fun comes to die here, there is nothing to do, everyone goes to the reg on Saturday night
ugly, socially awkward, no fun
Hardcore academic school with socially reatarded people who do nothing but play chess and awkwardly push their glasses up on faces contorted in strange, awkward laughter.
Oh, where to begin. A typical UChicago student is: ugly, nerdy, socially awkward (as well as anti-social), quirky, and never stops studying. Whether you find these traits charming is somewhat subjective, but the real beauty of these stereotypes is that we embrace them on cloth. You'll find t-shirts all over campus that read, "The University of Chicago: Where the only thing that goes down on you is your GPA," "Where the squirrels are more aggressive than the guys," "Hell really does freeze over," and of course "Where fun goes to die." That's the general atmosphere of the college: while you are surrounded by ridiculously smart and inquisitive people, and are spending the better part of your youth in the library, no one really takes themselves that seriously.
1. "The squirrels are cuter than the girls and more aggressive than the guys" 2. All people do here is study 3. Intellectual Atmosphere
The college is filled with socially awkward beings who are frustrated that they have to be kicked out from the library at 10pm on a Saturday night. We're also thought to perform really badly in job interviews, though our admission rate into grad schools are skyhigh. Doesn't that show anything about our interpersonal skills? LOL.
UChicago students are usually viewed as one of three things: 1. Quirky, intellectual, social misfit types who value broad, rigorous, liberal education, butcare little about, and even look down upon, practical or vocational education 2. Acne-riddled pencil-necks who drool over problem sets and stacks of reading 3. Ambitious gunners who were turned down by the Ivies
U of C students are both nerdy and very studious. Frats are frowned upon, even though there are some. Students are extremely socially awkward.
Nerdy, always studying.
That U of C students are nerds, anti-social, and physically unattractive. U of C is termed "Where fun comes to die."
Fun comes to die, ugly chicks, intense academics
That we are not social, awkward work all the time and are incapable of having a healthy conversation. In some capacity all of these stereotypes are true.
The school is purely focused on academics and lacks social life. Students are very strange and nerdy. The school is known for it's academic rigor.
We're considered a complete nerd school without any social life.
that we're quirky, weird, uppity, and don't know how to have fun. I must say that 75{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the people that go here are that way. What I have learned is that you have to seek out the type of people you normally hang with and hope that the process doesn't take too long.
Geeky, bookish, quirky, socially awkward....
nerdy, brilliant, intellectual, academic, loners, socially inept, self-interested, esoteric interests, theory-oriented, spacy, apolitical, hard-working, don't have fun, passionate.
A big stereotype is that we are a bunch of nerds with no lives. Everyone calls it "where fun comes to die." Another related stereotype is that we're all really socially awkward and will either die bachelors or marry a fellow UChicago student.
Well, there's the old adage, "UChicago: Where Fun Comes To Die." That pretty much sums up the stereotypes. People think that everyone here is super smart, studies all the time, and is totally reclusive.
Nerdy, funny, hardworking, obsessive, nitpicky, dorky, having no life.
-UC students spend all their time studying and they have no social life or social skills.
Really awkward (it's true), really serious, crappy parties.
U Chicago students are considered nerdy, awkward, not personable, unsocial, and smart. U Chicago is known as the place where fun comes to die.
When I decided to come to this school, I was aware of the University's reputation for having a bad social life. I couldn't imagine that any school of this caliber could really be that bad socially--I figured as long as there was an intelligent, diverse student body, I could always find my niche.
We're nerdy, we have no social skills, we live in an ivory tower. U of C students spend all their time studying - this is the place where fun comes to die. The quarter system means more work. The South Side is scary.
Geeky, religiously academic, intellectual, anti-social, elitist, rich, able to readily discuss any topic at an intellectual level, un-athletic, brilliant, and a lacking in personal hygiene.
Extremely nerdy and somewhat anti-social, as well as hyper-competitive academically.
