University of Chicago Campus Tour

On Saturday morning, we had a quick breakfast at the hotel and then drove to Hyde Park for a tour of The University of Chicago.  It was another beautiful campus.  After the tour, we stopped at the bookstore and then walked into Hyde Park for lunch.  Then we walked down to the lake before heading home.

Northwestern Campus Tour

Will and I drove to Evanston on Friday morning for a campus tour of Northwestern.  We got there a bit early, so we walked to the student center for coffee and then walked around the athletic complex.  We had a very informative general campus tour at 11 and then went into Evanston for lunch.  Then we had a more in depth tour at 2:15 called Libraries, Labs, and Learning Beyond the Classroom.  It was very interesting and we got to go into a lot of different buildings.  We learned about research opportunities, study abroad, and the other resources they have on campus to help students.  After the tours, we drove to our hotel downtown.  We walked down to Macy’s, saw the Walnut Room in the spring, and went to the Bean.  Then we got dinner and went back to the hotel.
