Favorite Spots
It might be a secret study spot, a bustling hangout or a gorgeous running path. Here are some of the best loved places on campus.
Lakeside Fields: 鈥淚t鈥檚 a really nice soccer field next to the lakefront, which has a beautiful view of the skyline of Chicago. When the field isn鈥檛 being used, a lot of the pickup soccer happens there, which can be really fun.鈥 Magan Oma, class of 2016
Norris University Center: 鈥淎s far as I am concerned, Norris is the heart of campus. I like to go there in between classes and to meet friends.鈥 Kori Cooper, class of 2018
Alice Millar Chapel: 鈥淪ometimes I go there to practice, and when the light is shining through the stained-glass windows in the quiet of the early morning, it鈥檚 the most beautiful and peaceful place on campus.鈥 Spencer Park, class of 2016
Deering Meadow: "You can take a break lying down on the grass on a sunny day, play Frisbee, get free food during an event鈥攁ll while overlooking a Hogwarts-esque building鈥攚hat鈥檚 not to like (or Instagram)?鈥 Astrid Goh, class of 2017
Shakespeare Garden: 鈥淚 love strolling through the Shakespeare Garden in the summer and during the winter.鈥 Simran Chadha, class of 2019

The architecture wing of Deering Library: "Whenever I need to study for a midterm, I head to its mahogany tables, where light streams in through vibrant stain-glass windows and I can think while overlooking a quiet garden.鈥 Carter Sherman, class of 2016
Sheridan Road: "In the fall, it鈥檚 an amazingly long road to go for a run on, and in the winter, it鈥檚 the perfect path to walk alone with your earphones and music blasting, waving to everyone you love walking on the opposite side." Liz Kang, class of 2018
Henry Crown Sports Pavilion: "I spend so much time there for practice and matches. I like to hang out in our locker room or in the lounge by the courts and look out the big windows on the lakefront." Mihir Kumar, class of 2016
Norris University Center: "In Norris there are tables outside, where students can hang out. I love going there to grab a bite to eat while studying outside. When the weather is nice and the sun is out this is definitely a go to spot for me." Destiny Edouard, class of 2017
"In the springtime the whole campus is so beautiful, full of blooming flowers, and both spots catch great sun light. I love bathing in the sun between classes." Genevieve Enowmbitang, class of 2016
First Fridays at Harris Hall: "My favorite spot is Harris Hall on the first Friday evenings of every month, as that is where my favorite student improv group, the Titanic Players, perform!" Clare Ling, class of 2018
Patrick G. and Shirley W. Ryan Center for the Musical Arts: "The new music building and Arts Green is already my favorite spot on campus. I鈥檓 really excited about the prospect of having all the music and theater programs under one roof." Elisabeth Lusche, class of 2017
"I love the student beach. It is an incredible facility to have on campus and it is very enjoyable to spend time there." Lisa McCarthy, class of 2016

Annenberg Hall: "My favorite spot on campus is the third floor of Annenberg Hall, because it provides a panoramic view of the lakefill and also allows you to see part of the Chicago skyline in the distance. Plus, you can see all of this from inside a heated building in the winter!" Jacob Rosenblum, class of 2017
