^it depends on where in chicago. the campus is really just 10-min bike ride from the chicago city line. the train-ride is about 45-min for downtown chicago and i can see how it can be too long for many busy students. the distance is only 12 miles or something like that but there are many subway stops along the way–like one stop every half-mile. however, it’s a shorter ride for areas north of downtown (between evanston and downtown) and there are a lot of places to hangout in those areas. pretty much all of the most desirable neighborhoods are located north of downtown.
