With the East Campus directly south of Greektown and next door to Little Italy, the unbelievable Mediterranean restaurants along Halsted Street and the eclectic eateries lining Taylor Street are easily within reach for lunch or dinner anytime. Major Chicago hotspots like The Loop and Randolph Street are close at hand as well, giving you direct access to the city’s trendiest dining, nightlife, and attractions.
