<p>I wouldn’t say UChicago is a city school in the sense of Columbia, NYU, etc. where the buildings are all seperated throughout the city. UChicago is in fact the opposite: it is REALLY compact. I walked from the eastern edge of the campus to the law school which is considered on the bottom western edge, and it only took 5-6 minutes. There are two one-way streets that basically split the campus in half so it is usually congested with traffic (don’t expect to find parking!). However, there was also a lot of construction going on when I was there so it might be a little more fluid now.</p>
<p>Here’s a map for you to see how compact the campus actually is:

<p>then compared to Northwestern’s:
