Chicago is known as the birthplace of skyscrapers, a destination for incredible international cuisine, and the home to some of the most renowned museums in the world. 

When you join the UChicago community, you become part of a fascinating and diverse city of 2.7 million people who live in 77 distinct communities, including our campus home of Hyde Park.
