Flyouts questions

[mathemagician]

You're going to be in Chicago - all you need is a large kite and you could fly right over. Though the wind may be in the wrong direction...

Is it really that bad?

They both do, but I'll try to avoid such dodgy tactics
I'm thinking at this point that I should get detailed programmes of the events and try to spend the morning at one place and the afternoon at the other, depending on what sounds interesting.

Eee, see my PM for details. For anyone else in this situation (as I was last year), I strongly advise against splitting the day and going to both. NU and U of C are just too far apart for it to be worthwhile, even with a car. Pick one to visit officially and visit the other unofficially.

If Eee doesn't mind walking through the south side a little, he can schedule it so he can catch a metra trail down to Ogilvie, then head over to Jackson and use the subway to get down. Alternatively, he can just jump on one of the buslines that stops at 59th. That takes a while though.

It's close to 2 hours with public transportation.... They are quite far apart from each other

Charge Northwestern for your flight. Then with your $350 from Chicago get on a helicopter (or at the least a very fast taxi). Without traffic could be there in 40 minutes.

I just say trust polkaparty. He was in that kind of position last year with his admits. Sage advice from an old TMer

I second. Polkaparty is solid.

To an outsider, this reverence for old and successful TMers would seem almost Confucian.
