<p>ALSO_ really want know about the school more- i hear mixed things- its beutiful in a great city- its in a slump where you're gunna get shot! I like big cities (am looking at Penn) but is the neighborhood more or less safe than that of Upenn?</p>

<p>It's been a few days since anyone has been shot. Just kidding. It is a big city, so you have to be aware, but the campus is quite safe, and so is much of the surrounding neighborhood if you use your head. </p>

<p>Write good essays and you have a very good shot. No need to retake SAT's, essays more important. Visit to see if it right for you, if you can.</p>

<p>the security on the chicago campus is beefed up, and the neighborhood east of the college is nice. heard bad things about penn neighborhood, and i think its more dangerous.</p>
