芝加哥

芝加哥ans live in 77 community areas, which include more than 200 neighborhoods, all with distinct cultural, 少数民族, or religious expression and history. North Park University sits on the line between the Albany Park and North Park community areas. Albany Park includes the neighborhoods of Albany Park, 伦敦的上流社会, 和北梅菲尔, as well as 芝加哥’s unofficial “韩国town.” The North Park community area and neighborhood (the north side of our campus) is home to many professors, 神学院学生, 校友, and friends of the University.

Our zip code—60625—is one of the most 少数民族ally diverse in the nation. More than 40 languages are spoken in the neighborhood’s schools, with the area having one of the highest percentages of foreign-born residents among 芝加哥 neighborhoods. Our neighbors (and our students, 教师, and staff) come from throughout Latin America, 中东, 菲律宾, 印度, 韩国, 柬埔寨, 索马里, 塞尔维亚, 克罗地亚, 波斯尼亚, 罗马尼亚, 巴基斯坦, 及以后.

Albany Park is an important part of life at North Park. We strive to be good neighbors, inviting others in the surrounding community to campus for events, to use our gathering spaces, and seeking partnerships with other schools and organizations. You’ll learn a lot from these individuals, whether through a class trip to 芝加哥’s World Relief office, participating in an internship at a local nonprofit, worshiping with a neighborhood congregation, or visiting area businesses and restaurants to do your shopping and explore new cultures.

在食品方面, there are more options than you can imagine, and you may well discover something we don’t yet know about. Within walking distance of campus, you can choose from Mexican, 瑞典, 菲律宾, 黎巴嫩, 越南, 泰国, and Chinese restaurants—not to mention burgers, 披萨, 和三明治.

The world is at our campus doorstep and we hope you’ll love our neighborhood as much as we do.
