Chicago offers outstanding biology opportunities to undergrads. Unlike every other university I know well (and that includes dozens) the Division of Biological Sciences covers the Medical School, grad students and undergrads. This means that the star med school prof may well teach undergrad classes too (which many do). And, the medical school sits on the edge of the rather compact main campus. In fact, the med school is a 5 minute leisurely walk from the most popular dorm.
