[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seriously. People on DCUM are really trying to convince us that a 1-2 hour flight to Chicago is somehow soooo much harder or sooooo much more isolated than, say, an 8 hour drive or a 1-2 hour flight to NYC or Boston + 3 hour drive into the wilderness. Delusional.[/quote]

O'Hare to UChicago or vice versa is literally 1 hr and 30 to 40 minutes via public transport, so don't forget to add on over 3 hrs RT.

Yes, UChicago is isolating on the south side and in Chicago. It's weird how everyone hypes "Chicago" which means downtown and Cubs games. But UChicago is not downtown, it's actually 30 to 60 minutes south of downtown. It's akin to saying Rockville or Gaitherburg (MD) are "in DC".

And Chicago, the city of, is far more isolating to east and west coast kiddos because no acela and all their friends are in eastern seaboard schools. Are you really not grasping that friend groups at Penn, Villanova, Columbia, NYU, Brown, Harvard, Boston College, Hopkins, Georgetown have a far easier time of seeing each other than the kid from Hyde Park, Chicago visiting their friend at the same colleges? And do you really not grasp these rich kids on the east coast pop on flights to Miami and Europe at the drop of a dime?[/quote]

It takes time to get from any airport to anywhere else in a city. JFK/LGA/EWR to NYU or Columbia easily takes an hour via public transit. Georgetown to Dulles is 30 miles. Also, Midway Airport to UChicago is a 30 minute drive. You sound like you've never used airports before. Very strange argument you're trying to weave.[/quote]
