B is on spring break this week and since we weren't up for a whirlwind college tour road trip, we decided to take him to University of Chicago for an info session and tour. One of his good friends from church, who's a high school senior, got admitted so we thought we'd show it to B and get him thinking about the whole college process. I have no idea if he'd consider going there, or if he'd be admitted, if he decides to apply, but it got us out of the house for the day. And he bought a sweatshirt in the bookstore so maybe he's more interested than he's letting on?
It was a pretty blustery day, rained a bit, and our tour guide talked really, really fast. And we walked alot. Of course, I was not wearing appropriate walking shoes. Glad L wasn't with us - she spent last night at Aunt A's house because she said she didn't want to go on a "boring college tour."
This statue marks the spot of campus where the first controlled, nuclear reaction took place.
After the tour, we stopped by to see this reading room. It was really quiet. The Gothic architecture all over campus is interesting.
