Consistently recognized as one of the top universities in the nation, the University of Chicago enjoys a reputation for prestige and superior educational opportunities, and serves as a cultural and intellectual hub for one of America’s signature cities. In addition to the university’s tremendous academic and research capabilities, the campus is home to some of Chicago’s finest arts venues, including the Smart Museum of Art, the Renaissance Society, the Court Theatre, and the Oriental Institute Museum.
The campus is surrounded on three sides by lush green spaces, with the stunning Washington Park and Jackson Park connected by the Midway Plaisance. Rail service connects the campus to the broader city, making it a breeze to explore the Windy City at your leisure. While Chicago’s lakefront is not known for cheap rent, the area near UChicago is full of surprisingly affordable apartments and condos, with those in the Hyde Park and Woodlawn neighborhoods providing the closest access to the university.
