Exciting Area around Campus

I’ve heard mixed thing about Hyde Park. I visited the Campus on August 5th, and my mother, my aunt and I walked all around the surrounding neighborhoods, even riding the bus.

I want to say right now that I had no problem whatsoever with the neighborhood. I felt incredibly safe, and although the bus ride was bumpy, it was quite enjoyable (I’d never been on a city public transit before, to be honest!)

There was this adorable little row of restaurants and shops that we walked down…Sort of like a South Street or State street, if you know where I’m referring to (Philadelphia! :D)

We ate in this one Asian restaurant and it was absolutely amazing! Haha, it was very college towny feeling.

This is one of the reasons that I like UofC so much. It has a very close-knit campus feel, a nice surrounding neighborhood, and is minutes away from a huge, amazing city. It has everything :]

Hope that helps!
