Where to stay?

The Ramada on Lake Shore is mediocre, but also really close (still in Hyde Park/Kenwood, so definitely safe). It’s actually right next to the high rise apartments that a lot of grad students/upperclassmen choose to live in, though I’m not that fond of them personally.

I-House is even closer–it’s a more grown-up university dorm that rents some rooms for the night. I don’t know much about the guest room experience, but there’s info here: [International House: Short-Term Guest Accommodations](http://ihouse.uchicago.edu/residency/residency_short.shtml)

Other than those I’d recommend just staying in the Loop. It’s a fairly quick drive if you take Lake Shore, and the surrounding area obviously has a lot going on.
