The University of Chicago

         For those of you who were recently admitted or planning to visit campus this winter (hint: you’re going to want to spend some time indoors), here are some of the many cafés on campus you might be interested in seeing. Cafés are a great place to study or meet friends, and as prospective students, they’re a great place to people watch and discover why UChicago is the school for you.

November creeps around the corner, shortening the days and freezing the air. Midterms and papers pile up in the increasingly longer nights spent in the libraries, and before you know it, the last leaf on the last tree has fallen. But this gloom doesn’t last because the further the temperature drops, the closer we get to the holiday season! Thanksgiving stands out like a beacon of light at the end of November, and as it fast approaches, it gives out warmth and comfort to the entire campus.

Everyone at UChicago will find their own favorite way to get around campus, navigate Hyde Park, and explore the larger city. Walking, free shuttles and buses, and biking are the most popular. However, others drive, take scooters and skateboards, and one guy even uses a unicycle. As a fourth year, I have lived in Max, South, and my own apartment, so I’ve had different routes to take to get to class using different types of transportation. After all of this experience getting around, I’ve determined that the best mode of transit in Hyde Park from March-November is the bicycle.
