[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've never once heard anyone use the term "Deep South Side." And there's no one in Chicago who would call Hyde Park the far south side. The University of Chicago is a [b]15 minute drive from the center of downtown Chicago outside of rush hours.[/b] But misconceptions about and slights against Chicago and the university aren't the important part. She's not happy. I hope she takes a semester or two off of school and finds the right match. Every university's Common Data Set will show if they accept mid-year transfers. Many semester abroad programs probably are also still accepting applicants.[/quote]

Hahahaha you haven’t been there recently, have you? Z[/quote]

This is frequently spammed misinformation by UChicago boosters. Pretending as if campus is walking distance to downtown. :roll: When factually it’s in two boring and relatively dangerous south side neighborhoods (surrounded by even exponentially more dangerous neighborhoods), an expensive and long Uber or an even longer and dangerous public transportation trek. And if you’re robbed, assaulted or murdered on public transportation, the boosters will blame you for not knowing all the unwritten travel rules. And then brush it off claiming “crime happens everywhere.”[/quote]
