As the largest university in the area, the University of Illinois at Chicago enrolls over 29,000 students in the heart of the Near West Side. Though relatively young (established in 1965), UIC has built a reputation as one of the finest academic institutions in the Midwest. The East Campus is home to the School of Architecture, the Institute for Humanities, the Honors College, and the Science & Engineering Labs. With the East Campus directly south of Greektown and next door to Little Italy, the unbelievable Mediterranean restaurants along Halsted Street and the eclectic eateries lining Taylor Street are easily within reach for lunch or dinner anytime. Major Chicago hotspots like The Loop and Randolph Street are close at hand as well, giving you direct access to the city’s trendiest dining, nightlife, and attractions. Apartments and condos in this area can get quite pricey, but Chicago’s extensive public transportation system helps expand your options to more affordable neighborhoods.
