University Hall

I wouldn’t trade the Chicago Field Studies program for any other academic experience I’ve had at Northwestern throughout my undergraduate career. Not only was I given the means to form meaningful connections within a competitive industry, the sociological theory backing the topics we studied in class will allow me to examine the implications of my behavior as well as the interactions that occur within my future places of employment throughout my professional career.

The CFS Office is housed in the basement of University Hall, which is located at the heart of Northwestern’s south campus in the old building with the tall clock tower, just east of the Northwestern Arch on Sheridan Road.
