I got accepted at a school that is probably Top 25.

At the time tuition was $13K per year. I had won a $1K scholarship.

My dad said “That’s nice son. Now, where is the other $12K coming from?”

As you probably guessed, I did not go there.

UCL is an overrated bureaucratic institution.

Back in the day, it was too hard to get to and from Israel from California, so it wasn’t even considered.

Direct flights from all over the east coast.

True, but it is a great school.

The liberals (even now) have not infested the engineering school. The math is too hard. Can’t opine about the rest.

Gee, that’s kind of odd. None are in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Lebanon, the UAE, Egypt, any part of Africa or Asia, none in Russia. I wonder why that is?
I just can’t imagine why that is.

I spent a little time at the American School in London. I was surprised by the politics at ASL even though I knew many were diplomat and corporate executive dependents.

It depends on what you define as close

I was there last month

University of Chicago is I don’t know maybe a mile or so from the worst south side shooting precients

It’s gentrifying all around it

Pretty school

Chicago has four or five leafy gothic Ivy League looking colleges ...three on the north shore area alone

I wish my son could go there...it’d be a good excuse to go to Chicago a lot

I love Chicago

People are friendly and downtown is manageable and beautiful girls

Caltech invited George HW Bush to speak at commencement in 1991. I was there, as a few friends of mine were graduating that year. The only political types were not from the community, and left after GHWB left.

Seems a very Science/Math/Engineering oriented list, not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Aren’t they located near the high crime area of the city? Yes. I don't recommend going west of Cottage Grove, south of 63rd or north of 51st. East is Lake Michigan.

Actually, I always defined 4 no go zones, guys/day, guys/night, girls/day, girls/night. So for the ladies at night It is Ellis Avenue instead of Cottage Grove, and 53rd instead of 55th, and the Midway Plaisance (60th) instead of 63rd. There was a little gentrification south of 60th, so the boundary has expanded, and the Institute of Christ the King is located there ... a serious upgrade over both St. Thomas the Apostle on 55th and especially over the Jebbie's Calvert House.

Within a range.
