Welcome to Chicago!
Chicago is a sprawling city with a population of about 3 million people, and there's plenty to explore beyond the Loop and UIC campus. The city is known as a "City of Neighborhoods." It's officially divided into 77 community areas, which are further divided into more than 200 neighborhoods, each with its own unique features. Throughout this semester, you and a partner will become experts on one of Chicago's many neighborhoods. As a class, we will create a resource for the next generation of students in our program.
