  • Gothic Goodness
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/02/06
    The campus has beautiful Gothic buildings. During the summer months these are covered with Ivy and look beautiful. The campus has many, many coffee shops. The Div School Cafe (where God drinks Coffee) and the Cobb cafe are particularly good. Also, the Seminary Co-op book store is one of the largest collection of (readable) books you will find. The ...

  • Gorgeous University
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/31/06
    Go for the architecture alone. I have visited numerous campuses across the country including Yale, Harvard, MIT, Boston College, Princeton, Rice, Duke and more.....and I think the U of C stands perhaps with Yale and Princeton only as the most beautiful campus in America. It has to be seen to be believed.

    Highly recommended!

  • Hallowed Halls of Academia
    By CamilleN, 11/30/05
    Visiting U of C is like stepping into an Elizabethan play.Its gothic and tudor architecture transports you into another space and time.Its easy to get spellbound by the beauty of it all.
    From ivy laced buildings to mammoth chapels,its a little slice of heaven in a pocket sized place in Chicago's Hyde Park area.
    A walk thru campus at any time ...

  • Breathtaking
    By Tina, 09/19/05
    Just look at the photo accompanying this listing. Then go there and stand on that great street, the Midway Plaisance. You'll feel history: Ghosts of a World's Fair and the most Nobel Prize-winning minds in the world! The sheer magnificence of this campus takes my breath away. I love Hyde Park. Not only because most of my family lives ...

  • ridiculous
    By steve, 07/01/04
    I lived in Hyde Park and went to the University and although it is a great University, there is no reason to travel from downtown Chicago to see this part of the city. The only two things worth seeing is the museum of science and industry and the frank lloyd wright building(and only if you love architecture.). Furthermore, the restaurants in this part of Chicago aren't even worth mentioning.
