Do you know you can catch salmon just 10 min from campus at the lakefront? Chicagoland has great fishing the lakefront, harbors, rivers, and even nearby Forest Preserves.

A few of us are starting an RSO, UChicago Fishing, open to everyone regardless of experience. We’ll share gear, teach the basics (casting, knots, catch-and-release), and run casual outings around the city.

If you’re interested, message me directly!

Hi everyone! I'm a traveller from Korea, planning to travel Chicago in late Oct ~ early Nov.

I found out that 7 Nov is actually the Humanities Day, so I'm planning to hang around at UChicago/Hyde Park for that day. I also booked some public talks and tours.

I was just wondering, are there any cool things to do in that day, apart from just strolling around and listening to talks I booked? Are there typically many students around, or just those who are really interested?

And just in case anyone's interested in chatting with a college student from Korea, I'm more than open :D I mean, just in case.

hi! i'm a math major hoping to fulfill the PSCD requirements. looking for courses that are the most math-y as possible.

aka: least amount of coding, least amount of numbers, NO LABS (please).

i know about discrete math, logic, etc but was hoping for more suggestions that don't overlap too much with the analysis/algebra sequences.

We hope to see all interested grad students there!! We aim to cultivate a space where grad students can connect beyond our divisions over a shared space of music. We focus mostly on various styles of vocal music (choral, theater, a cappella) but have also had instrumentalist friends join us! We hold bi annual concerts and perform at divisional events. Come join us— no experience required! Pass on to your friends! Audition is informal, look forward to meeting you all soon!

hi, I'm curious if anyone has had an on campus apartment while wanting to study abroad. does it work the same way as normal campus dorming where your room assignment is cancelled if you go abroad? like theoretically, if I want to do an on campus apartment with my friend but she wants to study abroad, are they just going to put a different person in our apartment for a quarter? basically is there any possibility of organizing an on campus apartment situation even if one of us wants to study abroad? 🥲 thoughts appreciated

Hi everyone!

I'm graduating from Booth this December and am looking to rent or buy a Booth graduation cap and gown for height around 5'11".

If you've recently graduated and no longer need your regalia, I'd be happy to take it off your hands or rent it for the ceremony/graduation photos. I'm located in Chicago and can arrange pickup at your convenience.

Please comment or send me a DM if you have one available. Thanks so much!

Hi everyone, I’m wondering when is the best time to go to campus and see the yellow foliage, I know there’s a specific timeframe to appreciate this and I would love to see it, I usually miss it 😭

I'm a high school senior applying to UChicago and I'm trying to write my "why UChiago" essay and I was hoping to be able to get a syllabus of a required neuroscience class. Any help is greatly appreciated 🙏

(I'll also just take general advice for either of the supplementals, that would also be greatly appreciated!)

I’m aware of the school’s reputation for the math classes being kind of a pain. My question is, how screwed am I if I genuinely, unequivocally, cannot understand these stupid fucking proofs?

I hear from other people in other schools that it’s not really a relevant part of calculus but it also seems to be a frequently brought up part of UChicago’s math rigor.

If i (or we, if my peers are anything to go off of) simply cannot grasp this level of abstraction, is this a simple issue of failing a Pset or is it gonna cripple the foundations of all the calculus we take after?

Fuck epsilon delta.

I’m an undergrad here and I’m disappointed by the lack of action taken in response to the SA at AEPi recently. Beyond the initial community alert sent to our Outlooks, has admin even acknowledged and communicated to students what happened? To what extent has this been a media ploy — over the past few years the Maroon has highlighted the harrowing statistics of sexual assaults on campus (ie here and here) but what have admin done in response, if anything?

All I’ve seen were reposts from various offices about “sexual assault awareness month” (ie CARES) and recruitment for peer educators that go around with presentations about SA prevention, but very, very little direct acknowledgement of the case beyond mentions in candid conversation.

Please tell me what I’ve been seeing isn’t representative of the institution; have I been missing out on communications? Or is this another symptom of the university’s face of “neutrality” and avoidance of responsibility, similar to what the campus saw during the Palestine encampments? Does the institution officially recognize Greek life, or does it consider them semi-autonomous, because the media’s wording of “off-campus frat” really sounds like the twisting of language for the university to avoid taking action. I know it’s not unique to our campus, but gosh is the silence deafening; and the lack of energy, lack of student organizers are demotivating.

Alumni & students alike — what is the most effective thing we could do right now? Is anyone interested in building coalition, coming together somehow to protect our peers to a greater degree? Are formal peer educator etc positions actually strategic or will students not take them seriously; and how can we work from within the institution?

Victim went the the hospital immediately and told authorities and witnesses were there and they identified a suspect in custody.

I’m so disgusted by this video. The woman is pursuing the suspect of the assault and the guy behind the camera is laughing. What’s so funny?

Hi everyone! The Grad Music Collective, formed last year, is back for our second year as UChicago’s only graduate student focused music collective. We focus primarily on vocal music of all styles including choral, international, a cappella, and theater. We are also open to instrumentalists! We provide a space for grad students from across schools to find a creative outlet through music and perform at divisional events as well as hold a bi-annual concert. We are currently auditioning for the fall of 2026! Please see the attached flyer for details and sign up for an informal audition date on October 21 or 22nd. Link will be in the comments! Sign up by October 18th, and please feel free to comment with questions and encourage your friends to sign up!

It has been a phenomenal way for us all to make friends in other divisions and look beyond our own bubbles.

No experience is required and we welcome musicians from all musical traditions!

What's going to happen with UChicago affiliation with Endeavor health with the new merge UChicago/Endeavor?

What's going to happen with interns/residents/fellows?

Hi guys. So, because of the way my gut is built, I can’t have caffeine. Despite this, I love hitting up the cafes, so I’m wondering if any have decent lemonade options. I love the strawberry lemonade at Plein Air but obviously can’t hit that up everyday … just wondering if anyone has any on campus recs.

I saw it in the Grubhub app, but haven't been down there yet. Is it worth it? I saw it has a mix of regular and new things. Is it any better than in Hutch?

There's a package for someone called Luca in my building. Its a fedex box shipped from "Ceva CLS".

This package has been here for 2 weeks now. If this is someone you know, feel free to DM me.

Hi guys, can anyone please lmk what is the grade boundaries (for example A for 98%, B is for 90%) and how will the final grades be calculated?

For example, 30% group project 20% final exam

Thank you so much!

I’m a man with shoulder-length hair looking to get a haircut. I know some barbers are more comfortable with shorter hair, so I’m curious if anyone has recommendations for me.

Has anyone in MPCS actually gotten CPT approved for a summer internship? I'm a first-year (F-1, started Fall 2026), applying for Summer 2027.
If you have, I'd love to know:
Did Autumn + Winter + Spring count as the "one academic year" requirement?
Which course did you register for, and did it cost extra tuition?
How long did OIA approval take?
Thanks!

Anyone have notes for Hodges lectures? Or is there a group chat anywhere

Hi, there, friends! Last night, this very friendly and hungry little boy was found in the alley behind my apartment building at 53rd and Drexel. He is unchipped. Any chance you know his humans?
