DePaul University

Enjoy it.

Save from the small stuff. Look for sales, bargains and promotions. You would not believe the difference in price. And how muh you can save. You need to walk around and know the place before spending in the store next door. One tip, the food stores around the university are outreageously more expensive than other food stores.

Check the Metromix.com. It tells you everything that it is going on. The scene is too fast here in Chicago. Bars around the university in Lincoln Park are many and all styles, for all type of people. There is a coffee place called The Burgeois Pig that is nice, around the school on Fullerton at Halsted. You can go to different types of clubs and bars. Also restaurants, any ethnic food and any type of food, Chicago is the place to go for food. I like a club called Rive Gauche. Crobar is old but as faras I know is still cool. (I guess it still exists). Things change quickly here, since there are too many options. So I suggest you check www.metromix.com That is your best source of information on things going on. Also, once you are here, once here you learn about all the parties, that are TOO many. Good luck.

I think one of the most important things about studying abroad is that it gives ou the knowledge and the confidence to pursue your goals anywhere they may take you.

I was there in January which is probably not the best time to go because of the cold...in the summer it gets pretty nice, therefor my personel recommendation is the beach.
