I went to UChicago too! For grad school. Dude, so different from Cal in many ways, but the absence of sports really does impact student life. These sporting events give shape to the student experience in ways that are hard to notice until you experience their absence. For instance, at UofC, you pretty rarely see someone wearing a UofC shirt or hat, even on campus.

The U of Chicago is one of the world's best universities, yet it has never been any kid's dream to go to the U of Chicago for undergrad. I was always struck by how most of the undergrads I encountered there were there purely for the sake of learning.
