“If you’ve paid attention to the national news (or Donald Trump’s tweets) over the last few months, you’ll notice that the city of Chicago is often painted with a broad brush as an ‘unsafe’ or ‘scary’ place to reside,” Belak wrote to the campus tour guide listhost.
“Of course, certain realities should not be ignored, but at the end of the day most of us are proud Chicago residents with a deep love of the city,” [Belak continues].
“With that spirit in mind, we have an opportunity for you to win some money—$500 to be exact. If you are able to come up with a creative way to approach this negative perception, be it a video series, blog post, photo, or something else (and better) entirely… Keep in mind that the audience is a high school student and his/her family.”
A section on the admissions website reads, “While Hyde Park is considered one of the safest neighborhoods in Chicago, urban life demands street smarts.” The site lists a number of campus security and University of Chicago Police Department (UCPD) resources. “The feeling of security is one thing that makes UChicago a great place to call home.”
Chicago IS a dangerous place to live. Trying to paint over this is dishonest. Part of it is the university's PR campaign, which IMO straight up lies to incoming students about how safe the area is. There is a very small bubble in Hyde Park where you are maybe safe, but not really (we get 'security alerts' sent to us all the time that tell us of people who get robbed/shot right off campus), but the minute you walk under a bridge in any direction that is gone.
One of the people in my program literally was mugged and got knocked unconscious the first week he came here.
This campaign is downright deluded, if not malicious. No one should feel safe in Chicago or at this university.
Also, students have no roots in the city and so do not have a 'deep love' for it. They don't understand its subtleties and will be gone in a few years.
William Evans
ahahahah liberals are so deluded
Anthony Gomez
I didn't go to school in Chicago but one weekend I visited a HS friend who did. He went to Loyola
the area around the school was shady and dangerous as fuck, from what I recall
Jack Morris
The only way to make Chiraq safe would be to firebomb it to rubble overnight, bulldoze everything, and start over.
Or call in the army and have them put down all the niggers.
Eli Thompson
I went to Columbia--which is right next to Harlem--and we had crime updates every week. Students getting mugged. Bikes stolen. Assaults.
I can trul say that diversity enriches the educational experience!
Jack Cruz
Chicago needs to be broken up into diffirent cities. Chicago should be broken into 5 different cities, each with its own mayor and city council.
That way the state of Illinois can effectively deal with problem areas without distrubing the others. Chicagos problems stem from regulations that are convoluted and adhere too often to the vocal miniority. It's the squeaky wheel that drive that wheel house.
Divide and conquer. Divide Chicago.
Cameron Rivera
Stay inside this circle
Jackson Nelson
fuck forgot the picture
Colton Jenkins
>write our propaganda for us >win cash prizes Toppest of KEK's.
Chase Parker
700 murders last year and its NOT dangerous? Wtf is wrong with liberals.
Gavin Smith
>U of C >Columbia
kek I went to depaul and lived in several places around the North side. Never had to worry at any time. Never knew anyone who got mugged or saw anything shady there. Biggest problem was drunk Cubs fans from the suburbs.
Jacob Turner
While Chicago has its problems its isolated to certain areas which the cops will straight out tell you to stay the fuck out of if they think you do not belong.
And while Mk most of the city is fine I feel like the college is going to go to far and make some bullshit up. Though they did tell sjw to fuck off on safe spaces this year so maybe they'll be realistic. I wonder how dangerous the campus and campus life is though. You would think drug dealers would be drawn to the students but with the money flowing through that school you can bet its a priority for the police.
Grayson Moore
I go to UIC which is closer to downtown but still dangerous. We get crime reports of black males who are robbing and beating people right on school grounds or the edges of campus at night. I could dig through all my emails but 95% of the time it's blacks committing crimes
Owen Adams
There's ghettos on Roosevelt and Ashland to Morgan. I watched as a black guy stole a woman's cellphone off the bus at Roosevelt and blue island. Stay away from the 12 bus
Lincoln Richardson
Jewchicago alumni here. Can confirm.
Justin Howard
Reminds me of a crime spree around my university last year.
Everybody getting mugged or stabbed around my department.
Jackson Sanchez
>hyde park he can't keep getting away with it
Landon Murphy
Not really around Loyola but Hyde park isn't the best area.
Tyler Myers
Chicago's only dangerous I'd you go to the far south. Stay north of soldier field and it's actually pretty gorgeous, especially along the river.
Michael Wright
All the liberals that live in Hyde Park are hoping Obama never sells his home because the secret service and constant police patrols will go with it.
Camden Richardson
Anyone expecting the Uni of Chig to decrease in respect and rankings as the city decays around it?
Like after a while it won't be able to get decent staff or students.
Logan Turner
UChiago is such a liberal shithole. It's a shame because it's a good STEM and medical school.
I know someone who goes there and they turned into full SJW in a matter of months via peer pressure. Skips medical classes to go to white coat black doctor protests, "die ins" to protest police violence, single payer medicine protests, BLM rallies, all that bull shit. They're not even a minority.
Noah Hall
"Chicago: Less lead exposure than Flint!"
Jason Torres
An acquaintance of mine and her boyfriend stopped at a red light at Roosevelt and Kedzie
some teenager ran up to their car and started shooting. Her bf got his head blown off and she ended up with a couple bullets in her leg an abdomen

Chicago: If the city was as white as a college, there wouldn't be so many murders!

Jordan Powell
God damn it fucking sucks. Chicago fag here, I was going to U of C for medical treatment and driving down there was fucking terrible. that area is so shitty, but not as bad as some fucking horrible areas in this god forsaken city. i really mean this from the bottom of my heart and I'm not trolling. please do not fucking come here. it is truly an awful place.
Levi Cooper
Pure coincidence.
Brody Brown
Good spot for a teaching hospital. I don't envy those that live there.
That cheap stab at Trump. Eventhough he ahs fuck all to do with a Democratic elected led city like Chiraq
Ethan Anderson
>not using shitcongo
Luis Young
it actually didnt have a trauma unity until recently because of community pressure. u of c has pretty much been a hospital for rich white people until recently. All of the trauma got sent to suburban hospitals like little company of mary or christ
Nolan Robinson
...
Jack Parker
Oh right I heard about that. Nothing like rich white liberals that want to want to have their own hospitals.
Dylan Garcia
Vastly underrated
Gavin Johnson
Does the difficulty of enemies go up as you get further away from the circle?
Sebastian Moore
yea they suck
Charles Thomas
>Chicago is safe! Just have street smarts and understand certain "cultural issues"!
This is fucking delusional and dangerous. Detroit is a meme. It's a broken down husk and it's a shithole, but Chicago is more dangerous than actual hellholes in Africa.
p.s. democrat leaders are squarely to blame for this
Jaxson Lewis
you should just drive around until you see some fire fights. then video tape it. you'll be an instant winner
Carter Perez
I'm moving to chicago next year to go to illinois college of optometry.
I hear it's in blackville/douglas or whatever and that it's a shitty neighborhood. Should I live on campus in the rc (that has security) or try and find a place nearby?
Kayden Howard
>What's wrong with liberals?
Lots of mental gymnastics and ancient trapeze techniques.
Jack Wood
It's not even gang wars over territory anymore, literally just
>"HE DISSED ME IN A RAP, TIME TO MURDER HIM!!" >"HE CHEAT ME OUT OF 5 DOLLAS"
Don't go to Chicago.
Landon Bailey
Everything, I think it's far past the point we listen to them. We've let ourselves be ruled by children.
Ian Young
What can be done REALISTICALLY to fix Chicongo?
"Remove all nigs" is not realistic.
Joseph Sanders
fuck off? is this the same University that produced famous economists?
Luis Martinez
The RC looks pretty /cozy/
Zachary Cooper
weren't there like 700 deaths in 2016? or was that detroit?
Noah Jones
jew yorker here, but i have relatives in shitcago, on the very wealthy northside of town (lake view section)
the best area of the south side is apparently mount greenwood
Luis Nguyen
far southwest (mount greenwood/beverly) and northeast (jefferson/norwood/edison parks, etc) are ok also
Brayden Hernandez
mmh is there in way we could troll them?
Lincoln Jones
It's a shame honestly.
UChicago is a great school with an administration that actually values learning in the traditional sense (core classes, no safe spaces, etc). Their attempts to attract people are being marred by the surrounding city though and some students (particularly grad students that live off campus in the city) don't want to go there because of the location.
[Spoiler] I chose Northwestern instead for that very reason [/Spoiler]
[Real spoiler] NU is cucked beyond belief pls save me [/real spoiler]
Jaxson Foster
move out all whites maybe. let them see first hand how well they enforce their own kind
David Cox
easy kill the niggers
Noah Phillips
Yes it sure does
Landon Martinez
>Fight the perception of violence wth? at first I thought they wanted rewards for actual solutions, but they want propaganda? kek, silly libs. >not chimpcongo
Xavier Brown
so is chicago just one financial crash away from ending up like detroit?
Samuel Powell
I'll note that this is not isolated to Chicago though.
There are a lot of great universities like Hopkins that used to be in desirable neighborhoods. They're all fortresses in the midst of a sea of horrors now though.
I'll leave it to the astute reader to figure out what the surrounding areas all have in common.
Justin Gray
Please stay out of Jefferson Park. We don't want rubes coming through.
Brandon Taylor
they dont believe diversity is a strength anymore?
Aiden Cox
go to your university republican group and try to get milo invited
could be fun.
other then that. maybe you could make a list of left wing biased and then report it to your local republican politician
Grayson Brooks
many schools are great schools
but democrats turned their home city into a shithole
see Yale >mom, dad, why did they build Yale in a ghetto? >well you see son/daughter, New Haven wasnt always a ghetto....
Charles Ross
some people say chicago don't be like detroit, but it do.
Nolan Stewart
yeah its pretty funny
Christopher White
Those were some fun threads.
Leo Morgan
This. Real shame.
Used to volunteer and breifly worked at a hospital that was like that. The parking was terrible because the mayor wouldn't allow them to build more parking, so you either had to pay the 10 dollars per day or pray your car wouldn't be broken into during your shift. And if you worked evenings you'd need an armed escort to your car if you didn't park in the ramp.
There were hospital police and city police patrolling the area hourly. Not a nice place.
Mason Taylor
you need to be 18+ to use this site

>Shitcago >Anything but unsafe or scary
Asher Watson
I-I-I'm sorry for not using "Chicago" correctly
Aaron Jones
This is a perfect example of the insanity that the left is infected with. When reality does not coincide with their artificially constructed rose-colored fantasies, they will go to any length to fabricate and manufacture some sort of facsimile of this fictional version of reality in order to justify their delusions.
