The Urban Studies student's most-prized possession is a Chicago Transit Authority pass. Using the public transit system, students cover the length and breadth of the city on any given day, averaging 10 to 15 hours a week riding trains and buses. The CTA is the avenue to the internship, seminars, Core Course and entertainment opportunities and is its own unique experiential education. Students are billed tuition and a program fee by their colleges. For students from ACM colleges, tuition will equal approximately one half of the home college's annual tuition.
All students are responsible for food, telephone, textbooks, entertainment and personal items.
Students from those schools should see their Urban Studies program advisors . Students from other colleges should contact the Urban Studies Program for more information regarding arrangements that can be made.
