I plan to attend college next year in Chicago. And skate that gnarly very wall by the bay.
It's harder to skate than you think. Where are you planning on going?
I was thinking about Columbia College Chicago, know anything about it?
I can't say I know much of substance, but a couple of really rudimentary things I know about your school are:
- The school is in the Loop (when you think of Chicago, you're probably thinking of the Loop), which is the most popular area to skate street in the city, especially at night. Chicago sleeps at night, which is great for skating. It's also the most popular tourist area.
- Assuming my idea of the location is correct, the buildings look sweet! It's not every day that your school is part of the Chicago skyline.
- There's some kind of collaboration between Second City (a super-famous theater in Chicago - Tina Fey, Steve Carrell, the Belushis, Stephen Colbert are all alums of the place) and Columbia for a "Comedy Studies" program. I'm not sure how long it is or what it consists of, but it sounds like it'd be a lot of fun and a great experience.
Good luck with college admissions!
