Chicago is our place to learn, play, and be inspired. We encourage you to explore “the city that works.” The nation’s third–largest city, Chicago is a bustling metropolis with 77 distinct neighborhoods—including the University's historic Hyde Park neighborhood. Dynamic Neighborhood, Vibrant City An energetic neighborhood of eclectic restaurants, boutiques, and cultural happenings, as well as beautiful tree-lined streets and sandy beaches, Hyde Park is home to nearly 60 percent of UChicago faculty and the majority of graduate students. Students live and play throughout the city, enjoying Chicago's winning sports teams, internationally renowned dining scene, vibrant night life, lush parks, and miles of recreational lakefront, including the 18-mile-long paved Lakefront Trail. City of Opportunity Chicago is also a city of opportunities, presenting numerous options for studying policy issues and gaining real-world experience through Harris Policy Labs, internships, and practica. It's known as "the city that works," and for good reason—many Harris graduates choose to stay in this beautiful and dynamic city for its myriad opportunities in the private, public, and nonprofit sectors.
