<p>I can't visit the April Programs, and I called the admissions office. They stop providing for overnight stays on April 15. However, I can't go until the 25th (Late, I know >_>).</p>
<p>Is it worth the plane ticket to go to Chicago for just like 8 hours? Or, should I not visit and just look at things online? I'll have to pay for my own plane ticket...and it's a lot! (For a 17 year old at least)</p>
<p>You could go on the ThickEnvelope discussion boards and see if any current students on there could arrange for an unofficial overnight for you. As for whether its worth it, I know that my visit cemented Chicago as my first choice. There really is just an inexplicable feel you get from a school by visiting, so if you're not sure where Chicago places on your list and you can reasonably afford to visit, I think its a good idea.</p>
<p>Great idea! I'll do that. Thanks!</p>
<p>I highly recommend you visit-- I think NatalieW is totally right that this school has a feel and an energy that makes a lot of people think "Ding! This is the right place."</p>
<p>College costs a lot of money. A plane ticket is a drop in the bucket.</p>
<p>You can also say "on campus" in International House, which has cheap rates. Tell them you're visiting the U of C as a prospective student.</p>
<p>Kinda curious, but ARE there students who attend without doing the overnight stays or any other visits? Like, O-week in September is their first time setting foot on campus?</p>
<p>Yes, I am one of those students, in fact.</p>
