Incredibly Diverse Student Body
One of my favorite parts of UChicago has been meeting so many people and making friends who are so different from me. When I lived in the dorm my first year I met people from all different races, economic situations, geographic backgrounds, religions, and sexual orientations. I found that people were really open to learning from each other and interested in the different experiences people had had.

Little Need for a Car on Campus
Everything is within walking distance or biking distance from everything else so a car isn't really necessary. Very few students use them to get to class because most people just walk or bike from their dorms or apartments. The CTA buses that circulate campus are free for students which makes getting around the neighborhood really easy. Also, the University runs really convenient shuttles every evening. Sometimes it would be nice to have a car to get to other neighborhoods of Chicago but pretty much everything can be accessed on the CTA without too much trouble.

Tons of Transportation Options!
Getting around campus is really easy because the two CTA buses that circulate the campus are free for students and faculty. I ride my bike almost everywhere. The University has a free shuttle system that makes getting around campus and the neighborhood really easy. During times when lots of people are travelling to the airports they provide free shuttles too!
