<p>Just wondering--in my "why chicago" essay is it okay if I refer to it as "UChicago"? Is "Chicago" better? Or should I just be writing the whole thing?</p>
<p>Uchicago is fine.</p>
<p>Sent from my SGH-T959V using CC App</p>
<p>Students and locals know it as U of C.</p>
<p>Used it. Got accepted.</p>
<p>This was actually a question in the Ask an Admissions Counselor thread. I can’t find the specific post because if you search on “UChicago” every post comes up because it is part of the thread title :). You can page through it if you want. I believe the answer was yes, use UChicago. HTH</p>
<p>UChicago, U of C, Chicago, and the proper title are all acceptable.</p>
<p>UChicago or University of Chicago are totally fine. U of C and Chicago are also acceptable, but generally students seem to be moving away from those terms in favor of UChicago. Anything is fine, though-- refer to us as you wish!</p>
<p>Just don’t call 'em Shirley.</p>
