Question 1. How does the University of Chicago, as you know it now, satisfy your desire for a particular kind of learning, community, and future? Please address with some specificity your own wishes and how they relate to Chicago.
An ideal academic community of mine should be one that facilitates the exchange of knowledge. The community should comprise like-minded individuals who are passionate about learning and sharing. As no man is an island, I hope that the members of my academic community are collaborative and interactive so that we can advance together. I know that the University of Chicago is an exemplary model of my ideal community after reading testimonials of former students. Many of them expressed that at the University of Chicago, students are blessed with a nurturing environment where lecturers are always there for them. The students and teachers engage in active discussions and debates which often produce new ideas and perspectives. This culture, I believe, has formed the basis of the university's strong research culture. As I read my Economics textbook written by my professors at the National University of Singapore, I noticed a constant reference to works of economists from the University of Chicago. Indeed, the number of Nobel Laurettes from the university can attest to the success of its education. Hence, I sincerely hope to be part of this education which is known to develop critical and inquiring minds.
As a person with a zest for life, I believe in a well-rounded education which includes extra-curriculum activities on top of academic work. Well I am passionate about dance and community service, I do not mind learning new skills such as in fencing or bowling or being involved in expeditions and theatre. At the University of Chicago, there is a wide range of activities with more than 400 student organizations tantalizing people like me. Situated in an urban setting (third-largest city in the US), the university's night scene continues to bustle with life - perfect for night owls like me. What impress me most are the student welfare services. The transportation in the University of Chicago is well catered to the student's needs. It amazes me that a student can even request for a police escort car late into the night! Of course, this is part of the university's efforts to ensure safety in the neighbourhood. I am comforted to know that University of Chicago regards safety with great importance and constantly devises initiatives to step up its security. I will definitely excel in a safe and nurturing environment like the University of Chicago.
