Rather than drab, square buildings, the University of Chicago has many buildings that are rooted in gothic architecture. It feels like you are in a different time period when you walk on campus. In addition, the University of Chicago has the Mansueto Library, one of the most beautiful buildings I have ever seen.
The student body is comprised of some of the smartest students from around the world, creating one of the most intellectual and diverse group of students among universities.

He explained that time is a dimension similar to the three spatial dimensions. Theoretically, similar to how one is free to move anywhere in the three spatial dimensions, one could move back and forth in the time dimension. This is how McConaughey was able to move freely in time when in the higher-dimensional world. But in the world we live in, humans cannot move around in the time dimension; we are always stuck in the
