Lonely Planet review for University of Chicago

Some universities collect football championships. The University of Chicago collects Nobel Prizes – 80-plus so far and counting. In particular, the economics department has been a regular winner. Merton Miller, a U of C economics faculty member and a prize winner himself, explained the string of wins to the Sun-Times: ‘It must be the water; it certainly can’t be the coffee.’

    Probably not the first stop on a tourist's list...

    remelila recommends this,

    ...but if you're in Hyde Park anyway, take a stroll down to the attractive UC campus, which was built in the 1920s in a neo-Gothic style reminiscent of Oxbridge colleges. Also check out the Co-op book store, chock full of weighty tomes.
