My advice, soak it in! One of the biggest things that attracted me to UChicago was the feeling, or vibe, or aura, or whatever you call it. I’d say make sure to check out some of the dorms (from the outside, they’re not included on tours), the libraries, and other facilities you might be interested in. Foodwise, definitely check out one (or a few) of the awesome and awesomely plentiful coffee shops. I’d recommend the Divinity School coffee shop in the basement of Swift Hall. It is, after all, “where God drinks coffee.” They also stock ‘box lunch’ type meals from local restaurants. I had some flourless chocolate cake when I visited that was to -die- for. Also, make sure to go to downtown Chicago, it’s wonderful. Have a good time!
