Welcome to the University of Chicago!

On the following pages you will find a schedule of activities and sessions

offered during our Spring Open House. Parents and students are welcome

to split up and attend different sessions. We encourage everyone to attend the

welcome at 8:30 a.m. and the social hour at 1:00 p.m.

Please feel encouraged to meet people, ask lots of questions, and imagine yourself in

this community—including Hyde Park’s many restaurants, bookstores, museums,

parks, and more. Explore the information provided in your folder and feel free to

call on our students and staff for recommendations, directions, and suggestions.

Enjoy your visit!

Follow us on social media for updates throughout the day! Use #UChicagoVisit with pictures you take while on campus, and we will post some of our favorites.
