Campus
The University of Chicago campus is located in the Hyde Park neighborhood, six miles south of downtown Chicago. Hyde Park is centered between two large city parks, Jackson Park and Washington Park, and is just steps from the beaches, trails and parks of Lake Michigan. Hyde Park is easily accessible to just about every part of the city by either car, bus, the El train, or the Metra commuter train. Hyde Park is a quiet, university neighborhood, with bookshops, cafes, and quiet, tree-lined streets. Students needing to focus have many options in Hyde Park, and students in need of diversion have a multitude of options a short drive or ride away.
