So, you're giving us a bottle of water for a 75-90 min tour and forbidding us from using a bathroom? Also, are we all creepy all of a sudden?


That is weird

We emailed a the admissions office when a tour was filled—they opened a spot for us! Didn’t expect that! Worth a try.

There is no way someone said this.

Be patient with that one. Once they get her email, whew....looking at you UChicago



Omg. Chicago is non stop with the mailers.


Op here—yes! Chicago seems relentless!

we just walked around while schools were in session. Went into lecture halls, while prof is teaching sat in the back, went into the dining halls, and even the dorms where a student let us in and showed his room. So people are very friendly. This was a better experience then a pre-determined tour.

And I had a good laugh imagining my teen dying of embarrassment as I wander the student center asking for a your guide with a fifty in my hand 😂

As a parent I think it’s a great idea. My kid would absolutely want to disappear into the floor 😂
