Across all programs and levels of education, students enjoy small classes and close relationships with the faculty—scholars who have contributed to some of the world's greatest discoveries, advancements, and bodies of knowledge. 

Campus Life

Campus life is rich with opportunity for involvement as well as entertainment, from Doc Films—the oldest running independent film house in the country—to the Major Activities Board, which brings A-list recording artists like Chance the Rapper and Vince Staples to campus. Venerable student institutions include the Chicago Maroon, an independent student newspaper since 1892; the Pub, a private hideaway for the University community known for its craft beer selection; and the annual four-day Scav Hunt, a singular tradition captured in a New Yorker article. Explore arts and culture, recreation and sports, more than 350 registered student organizations, and many opportunities for dining on campus and in the neighborhood, from food trucks to fine cuisine.

The 211-acre University of Chicago campus showcases spectacular architecture, including such modern marvels as Mansueto Library, Harper Center (home to Chicago Booth School of Business), and Campus North Residential Commons, while embracing the traditional. The University is known for its campus quadrangles and limestone buildings and for reimagining historical spaces, as with Saieh Hall, home to the Becker Friedman Institute. 

Harris Public Policy's new home is the Keller Center at 1307 E. 60th Street on the University's Hyde Park campus, on the south side of the historic Midway Plaisance, a mile-long park dating from the 1893 Columbian Exposition.
