I have visited Chicago, and I felt safe. I even rode public transportation from Michigan avenue to Hyde Park, and talked to a total stranger for the whole time. I felt that the city as a whole was very nice; when I asked for directions multiple people ended up helping me out. As for the neighborhood, it’s not in the best area, but Hyde Park is just different. I don’t think it would be unsafe to walk to the beach.

As for Physics, Enrico Fermi achieved the first sustained nuclear chain reaction at UChicago back in the 40s. They also said that in their physics department, there were 60 faculty and 100 students. That’s insane.
