It's a good school and I had a good experience there, but honestly do not make a decision like this based on a famous alumnus who attended years and years ago. There are lots of great reasons to come to UChicago (depending on what you like, what you want to do, your personality, and how hard you're willing to work) and plenty of totally valid reasons not to. But one person isn't really one of them, and you'll be disappointed if you come here expecting anything related to him.

That said, I did love UChicago, both as a graduate and undergraduate student. If you are willing to work, you'll get a lot out of your classes, and most of the professors are really wonderful. Chicago is a great city to live in. There are lots of different types of people, so most people are able to find a niche. But there were also things I absolutely hated: the self-righteousness of the student body about how ~cool and smart~ they were for going there, the constant and unending complaining about how much work everyone was doing (even when they weren't doing much), and the tendency to pass off rudeness or social ineptitude as quirkiness. Just being honest-- and again, for me, the balance was overwhelmingly positive, and I had a good time once I figured out the things I liked doing and the people I liked being around. But you should take all of this into account-- there are amazing pluses and serious minuses both. Good luck!
