Chicago (Booth) 2013 - Calling All Applicants

Hyde Park is the 3rd safest neighborhood in Chicago. Please remember that Chicago is a major city so of course you need to be careful. However, that can be said of Philly, NYC, Boston, etc. Exercising common sense goes a long way toward staying safe.

As for trudging to campus for a recruiting event, it's not really like that. Most of the time you are here regardless, whether it be for class, study groups, club meeting, etc. Almost everyone keeps a suit in their locker so that they don't have to wear it all day or go home and change before a recruiting event.

Also a lot happens downtown at the Gleacher Center so you don't always have to come up to Hyde Park. No matter where I am most of my time is spent with my classmates. Very few people just come to school, do recruiting, and then go home, never to be seen otherwise. I would say that Booth has an amazing community that's very active. Am I around all 576 of my classmates all the time? No. That would be impossible to do. Is 80% of my non class time spent with other Boothies in some capacity? Definitely. And I would say the majority of my classmates would say the same.
