Sinister--Hyde Park is awesome! In like a two block radius, you can have great thai, korean, japanese, indian, mexican, or misc. delicious food. There are always great lectures and films on campus. The night life isn't so great (we only have a few bars), but the neighborhood is full of college kids who are generally very intelligent and socially aware, which = muy sexy.

But, although I'm a huge fan of Hyde Park, it would be suffocating to never leave it. I think biweekly trips to Lincoln Park and boystown are necessary for my mental health.

I agree LP is way too fucking white. DePaul is so segregated it makes me want to . Boystown is the same way, except filled w/ white gay boys. It's nice to find areas in chicago that aren't "all white" or "all black" or "all ethnic group x, y or z." -- I haven't been down to hyde park all that much. I'm not sure what all of these comments are about... but I found your journal by lookin' up chicago people in the "hookup" sec and anyway... LP is only nice because it's relatively safe. But it would be nice to see some diversity.
