Loop U

The Chicago Tribune had an interesting article the other day about college students that make up a significant portion of the residents in the Loop.

"A sprawling urban campus has taken hold in the Loop and South Loop, with close to 60,000 students from 20 institutions of higher learning inhabiting a slice of downtown Chicago and making a significant economic impact."

Above is a photo of University Center located at the corner of Congress & State Street. According to it's developer, the building is America’s largest joint residence hall, providing housing for nearly 1,700 students attending Columbia College, DePaul University and Roosevelt University.
