Anyone have any predictions as to when the most recent round of acceptances will hear about $$?

do people respond to the faculty emails? Got one and thought it was cool, but I don't really have anything to say in reply.

I don't respond to any of the emails from faculty or students. I don't think they expect you to reply either.c0llegeStUd3nt wrote:do people respond to the faculty emails? Got one and thought it was cool, but I don't really have anything to say in reply.

How do people plan on getting from the airport to campus for ASW? Cabs mostly, or is public transit easy to use?

If you're going public transit route, easiest ways to get to campus are:random number wrote:How do people plan on getting from the airport to campus for ASW? Cabs mostly, or is public transit easy to use?
From Midway: 55 bus runs straight from Midway to Hyde Park, takes about 45m-1h
From O'Hare: Blue line to the loop then the 6 bus to Hyde Park, takes about 1h30m. Sucks, but the taxi fare can run close to $50 for that distance.
Apologies if this is superfluous - I don't know if they give you guys these instructions or whatnot.

It's not expected, but it's cool if you do. I mean students volunteer to e-mail y'all so it's not like we're annoyed to do it or anything.drawstring wrote:I don't respond to any of the emails from faculty or students.

Re: Chicago Law Class of 2017
There should be a machine in front of the train stops where you can get a CTA pass. I would suggest doing that since you'll probably take public transit at some point. Or I suggest that you do to get a sense of the city.

Thanks for the advice! It looks like they have a bus to take us downtown to the subway hub on Saturday, but we are on our own for getting there on Thursday.

Fyi if you do cash the bus is $2.25 and it doesn't give change. I only had a $10 one time and the bus driver smiled sadistically and said i'm welcome to pay with that.

Any idea how long it will take to get from downtown to O'hare on Saturday afternoon? I'm trying to pick a flight time.

Re: Chicago Law Class of 2017
I would budget like two hours right now. I think the last two stops are closed down because a train driver crashed into the O'Hare escalator. So I think you have to take a shuttle to the second or third blue line stop. If you can afford it I might take a cab but they get pricey.

45m-1h+, traffic shouldn't be too bad at that time of day but you never know with the Dan Ryanapplelover wrote:I'm taking a cab because my flight gets in at 2:30pm Thursday.

Re: Chicago Law Class of 2017
Another suggestion is to take a airport shuttle from O'hare. They'll take you directly to Uchicago and it's cheaper than a cab. I think it's ~$20. They also won't take as long as public transit and your don't have to transfer.random number wrote:How do people plan on getting from the airport to campus for ASW?
