Is Uchicago really as depressing as everyone says it is?

As a junior in highschool looking at different colleges, a lot of my cousins that are in college say that life at Uchicago is really depressing. I don't think I would apply to it because even if by some miracle I get accepted, it's too expensive of a school for me, but I'm still curious! TBH I think that people exaggerate it, but I thought I would ask people that have better knowledge/experience with it!
