<p>It’s a great campus. I spent this summer there doing the Chicago Academic Medicine Program at the Pritzker School of Medicine and I absolutely loved it. Hyde Park is a great little community, everything you need on an everday basis is there. I subletted over on 54th, so I was right smack in the middle of Hyde Park. It’s also very safe in my opinion, though I have experience with more violent urban areas. There were a couple times I walked through Hyde Park at 4 AM alone, and although I had to keep an eye out and stay in well-lit areas, I didn’t have any bad encounters.</p>
<p>It’s also nice because the campus is right on the coast, like 2 minutes from Lakeshore Drive. That means you can catch the #6 bus and be downtown in 15 minutes without traffic. You can also get the bus to the Red or Green lines, and be downtown in about half an hour that way.</p>
<p>The campus is beautiful, it definitely reminded me of Penn. And again, the location is pretty good in my opinion. I’d prefer to be smack downtown like the Northwestern med campus, but the U of C is great for undergrad I think.</p>
