Sweet “New” Home Chicago! Kellstadt Students Love to Explore their New City
The “City of Broad Shoulders,” the “Windy City”–whatever you call Chicago, DePaul is lucky to call it home. Sampling the famous pizza, cheering on one of our six professional sports teams, or visiting one of our many world-class museums are all options for the Kellstadt student with a few hours of downtime. But Chicago’s benefits aren’t just limited to leisure activities.
One of the largest cities in the world, Chicago affords DePaul one of the most robust networking communities of any university. Simply being in Chicago puts Kellstadt students at an advantage with an extensive alumni community, financial district and a plethora of companies within walking distance. Kellstadt students can make use of this prime location with resources like the ASK (Alumni Sharing Knowledge) network, an online community to connect them to mentors. DePaul students also have the chance to be involved in the cutting edge of the entrepreneurship community through resources offered through The Coleman Center for Entrepreneurship, including access to tech incubators like 1871. Whether you’re looking to secure a job with an established company or get in on the ground floor of a start-up, the opportunities are unlimited in Chicago.
Chicago is a city that offers more to do and see than most other cities. From comedians to athletes, foodies to nature buffs, there’s something here for everyone. No matter where your interests lie, you will be able to find your place and create your community. With its central location in the heart of Chicago, and endless entertainment and extensive networking opportunities, it’s tough to pass up on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to study at DePaul.
