University of Chicago

I cannot speak directly to baseball but the softball program has little to no energy. I was impressed with the campus.. thought the issues of security were a bit overblown and Chicago is an incredible city but in all honestly UC would be a better grad school choice than undergrad... IMHO.

No expert, learning stuff myself, but I stumbled across this today:

an incredible institution no doubt; patterned after the great German research universities.. but an extraordinarily strenuous curriculum called the "Core" has led to UC being called "the place where fun goes to die".

We looked very closely at UC. A lot of college professors send their kids to UC and if you wish a career in academia there may be no better institution on the planet including Harvard, Yale et al. As I stated above a better choice to pursue a masters or doctorate IMHO than a bachelor's degree.
