<p>I heard U of C is where "fun goes to die". Are there any intramurals sports they offer to keep me entertained?</p>
<p>Yup. IM sports are popular in houses and also in some student groups.</p>
<p>This quarter, my house of 55 is playing frisbee, soccer, inner tube water polo, floor hockey, and Midnight Capture the Flag.</p>
<p>My son has participated in football, bowling, broomball and various water balloon recreations of ancient battles.</p>
<p>And, of course, the best sport is coming up - Scav Hunt!</p>
<p>Some of the houses have organized paint ball groups that travel to someplace nearby in Indiana that has both urban and countryside battlefields.</p>
<p>all of UChicago's IM sports are listed at <a href="http://athletics.uchicago.edu/campus/index.htm%5B/url%5D">http://athletics.uchicago.edu/campus/index.htm</a>
when i overnighted my host told me that tournaments can get pretty competitive / fun between houses</p>
<p>IM sports are insanely fun. People are genuinely competitive, and the trash-talking that goes on between some of the rival houses is amazing.</p>
<p>There are tons of IM sports. At the end of the year, they tally up the points and award the maroon cup to the winning house - its amazing. Also, you can form independent teams to play in each of these.</p>
<p>P.S.: Everyone is envious of Vincent House, 'cause they are like, well, the dominant force in IM sports for over two years now.</p>
