Intellection. It’s in our core.

“I came to UChicago not necessarily realizing that academics didn’t have to be separated from everyday life, it’s integrated into everything we do. I’ve been encouraged to explore that intellectual side of myself here and realized that being smart, having curiosities is not a bad thing—whether it’s about philosophers or what the back end of a machine looks like. 

Here you don’t just get a degree, you actually end up loving to learn, and it becomes an entire part of you. That’s definitely something that makes UChicago grads stand out.”
