Canterbury Courts, the apartments in which students will be housed, is located in one of the most desirable locations in the city.  It is two blocks from bus stops and a subway stop, and is within short walking distance from the Newberry Library, Michigan Ave. gold coast district and many fine restaurants.  In the early fall there is a wonderful farmer’s market on Saturday mornings located less than one block from Canterbury Courts.  It features fresh produce and flowers at reasonable prices.  Here is a list of some of the reasons to spend your semester in Chicago.  They are in no particular order.
