Hi! I’m an incoming freshman, and with housing assignments coming out soon, I was wondering if any current students could share their opinions on the different dorms. What are the pros and cons of each one in terms of location, room size, bathrooms, cleanliness, social life, and overall experience? Are there certain dorms that are generally considered better than others? And are there any that you really don’t want to get assigned to? 😭

Hi! I’m an incoming UChicago freshman and I wanted to ask current students about the LGBTQ+ scene, especially for lesbians. What is the dating life actually like? Is it relatively easy to meet other lesbians/queer women on campus?
I know the whole “will I find other gay people in college?” question is kind of cliché lol, but I’m genuinely curious about how easy it is to find other LGBTQ+ people and make queer friends at UChicago. I’d also love to hear what the overall environment is like—do you generally feel comfortable being openly LGBTQ+ on campus and in the surrounding community?

I’m an incoming first-year at UChicago, and I just registered for my classes (I have priority registration). I was able to get into all of my classes except for my Hum Core. When I try to register for a Hum Core section, it says: “Instructor consent required. You must obtain permission to take this class.” At first I thought maybe it was just the particular section I chose, but I looked through the different Hum Core sections/times and they all seem to require instructor consent. I thought all first-years are supposed to take a Hum Core during their first quarter, so I’m a little confused about how this works. Do I need to email the instructor to get consent, or is this something I’m supposed to wait for until a later registration period?I might just be overthinking this lol, but I’d really appreciate any clarification from people who have gone through this before.
