The free time of a pediatrics house officer is understandably limited, but for those precious periods, Chicago offers a full range of diversions. Pediatrics residents at UIC enjoy easy access to the cultural resources and other attractions of what is unarguably one of the world's greatest cities.
The University of Illinois at Chicago campus is located within minutes of:
• Navy Pier
• Millenium Park

City Living
Ample apartment space and homes for rent are available all around the campus. Many residents choose to live in one of the many nearby suburbs or in select areas of the city. Commuting in Chicago is safe and easy. There is a commuter train station next to the hospital. Additionally, there is frequent shuttle service between the main train station and the medical center.
Sports
For those who prefer the unscripted drama of live sports, there are plenty of options. Baseball fans cheer on the White Sox and the Cubs; football fans favor the Bears. Hockey fans support the Blackhawks; basketball enthusiasts applaud the Bulls. And soccer fans fuel the Fire. Though Chicagc teams give their fans only rare occasion for celebration, the fans’ diehard fervor is rarely diminished. And that zeal renders every game a spectator’s pleasure, regardless of the outcome. For those who prefer to participate in the sports’ scene, Chicago also offers unusually active adult intramural leagues, numerous recreational facilities, and over 200 local golf courses that are open to the public.
