PSAC Update!
Hello out there in ASC land!
My name is Allison Kean, and I am a fourth year student concentrating in Sociology, but more importantly, the chair of the PSAC executive board. On behalf of the PSAC communications committee, I hope you like all of our posts. We're trying our best to keep you updated about what's going on here, and I'm always happy to answer your questions--just post a comment. :)
PSAC is gearing up for another fun and exciting April and May, where we get to meet many of the great prospective students you've already met, only this time, the ball is in their court. We'll do our best to make sure they make the Right Decision (to attend Chicago, of course).
Please let us know if there's anything you'd like to hear about!
Allison

Allison,
Thanks for the updates. I've enjoyed reading the PSAC posts. They provide a perspective that, I think, will bring us all a bit closer to the current experience at Chicago. I have a question (preceded by a long prologue). I assume that PSAC still produces the student guide book that is sent out to students who have decided to attend. One question that almost always gets asked during the interviews is, "Is it easy to get around Chicago?" I remember vaguely that in the past, a segment on transportation was included in the guide book. Later on, there was a Chicago Life book that covered similar ground, but with a slicker presentation. And there was also the cornucopia of transportation info that was heaped on students during Orientation. Despite all this, or perhaps because there was too much of it, my own experience as a student was that transportation wasn't intuitive. I know that PSAC focuses on "prospective students," and not current students, but do you think the PSAC booklet would be a good place for condensed transportation information? A handy one-stop resource for the essentials, perhaps. I may be barking up the wrong tree on this, so of course I would welcome suggestions on a more appropriate location for such information. Regardless of where it goes, I think it would be a huge help for new students to have one or two pages of coherent, real-life information, in a convenient place, so that they could get grounded before scurrying off to the various transit maps for details. Maybe such a resource already exists, and I'm behind the times. Thanks again.
