<p>The map link points to some badly outdated data. Things north of the campus have changed dramatically since the 2000 census. I can tell you from direct observation that the area north of Hyde Park is filling with 500,000+ townhouses. Low income folks? Hardly.</p>
<p>So for all of you who continue to talk about the bad surrounding neighborhoods, all you are doing is betraying your ignorance. But go ahead. The U of C has enough applicants already. It does not need those that won't even check out the area and decide for themselves.</p>
<p>Father/Boarder, I'm not sure why you characterize U of C as an LAC? It is a major research Uni, with a strong liberal arts core.</p>
