My tour guide was too shy. Nothing beyond the basics and no interesting personal stories.

I knew more about the school than my freshman tour guide, but that was my fault for over-preparing more than any fault of her own.

Funny, warm tour guides with lots of interesting information. Just made me love the school even more.

Tour with current student. Lots of good info about campus and student life. Did not see dorm, but was told that all are so different seeing one wouldn't provide that much info.

Sat in a classroom, emphasizing discussion-style learning. Couldn't see a dorm. There's tons of ivy on the buildings. They tried to make the construction going on sound positive -- improveme

Great! The students are very friendly, and implement a lot of their own personal stories into the tour.

Did not take guided tour, but did "self tour" option. I'm not very good with maps, but after a while, i had it figured out. uchicago is on a square quad plan--easy to navigate.

The tour was good...it really helped us feel comfortable with the layout of the campus so we could explore on our own too.

Guide could use some work on speaking skills (didn't speak loudly enough), but was obviously passionate about U Chicago. Had lots to say about classes, student life, etc.

Just long enough to get a good sense of the University but not freeze. Our guide was very kind and genuinely loved the school and learning. Didn't enter a lot of buildings, though.

I walked around the campus with a couple current students at Chicago. It's a wonderful looking campus with the gothic buildings. It was very clean and seemed to be well kept.

THe campus is GORGEOUS! Located in a good area and there are many facilities near by. Everything you could want is in walking distance. THe buildings of Uchicago tell me so much about u chicago, it's old,and culture filled.

Good guide, told us many random facts. Great campus, not too big, and great architecture. Nice and quiet for a school in the big city.

I was terribly sick so I wasn't up to anything more than hanging out in the admissions office.

The tour guides were all current students, and were friendly and helpful. The tour covered pretty much everything that you'd want to see, except
