being from the east here's what I get the impression U of C does well in:
- Economics
- Poli Sci
- Law
- Communication
Stephen Harper, and how many other federal Conservatives went to/are/were on staff of U of C? Economics
The prof I did my undergrad thesis with said U of C was one of the best of Political Science Maters (mind you more right wing that most schools in the east)
Law, I don't know any U of C lawyers, but I can think of times I've heard posities, and nothing negative about U of C Law
Communication, a guy I went to undergrad with is doing is Masters of Communication at U of C now. So I hope it's good for his sake
