Chicago University Observation

My fond for University of Chicago started with a feeling which is vague, unreasonable, and “unwipable”.

I did not read things about the university, I watched videos on Youtube instead. I tested my feelings through the way University of Chicago students spoke, expressed their ideas, acted. I looked for the side, unmain parts of a video. For an example, there was an interview of a group of students, and I focused on an Indian girl playing ball behind them.
