Haha. Not really. PhD is hard. I seldom come to CD since I arrived in Chicago. But I am at Renren a lot. You need a break from study anyway. Anyway, I just learned that Chicago has made four offers and it reminds me of CD.
The difference is not large in the first year. We also have some finance class and Macro is usually taken in the second year. The classes require a lot of work. And as you see, I am back to CD again because one of the problems I try to solve stuck. hehe.
