I have been going to UIC for about six months now and i used to think that Little Italy was mostly college students but from what i can tell, there aren't that many there. Are there any other areas in chicago that might have a large college student population?

Even the small college towns can only have a few blocks here & there that cater to mostly college students. Chicago is a bit more spread out.
Usually a few blocks around a campus is mostly students.
But who wants to hang out with just college students? Businesses and apartments that cater to college students usually rip them off. The smart college kids when I was a college student went to live way off campus, even in trailer parks to save on rent. Townies rock!

South loop is turning into a college student hang out. The University Center/Super dorm is in this area.
University Center of Chicago is the largest joint student residence hall in the United States.
- This dormitory serves three different universities with campuses nearby: DePaul University, Roosevelt University, and Columbia College.
- From the fourth floor up the building is shaped like an "E", with a 20,000 ft² garden filling in the courtyards on the east side.
- The city government donated the building's site to the Educational Advancement Fund which is developing the project.
- Construction began on June 1, 2001.
- 35,000 square feet of retail occupy the first two floors along State Street.
- University Center dormitories houses 2,000 students.
- Topping out ceremonies occurred the week ending August 16th 2003.

There's a lot of UIC students living around Western and Harrison, but be careful out there. The area between the two UIC campuses does have a lot of UIC students, but it's not dominated by them.
You can also try the south campus area.

There are neighborhoods around Loyola, DePaul, Northwestern, North Park, and even Northeastern that have college students living in them but I wouldn't say they are dominated by students. They are much like the UIC area.

Why don't you ask around at school, where people live? A lot of students live in my neighborhood, on the near north side, but mostly from Loyola and DePaul.

I don't think the problem is that there is no choice in what college you go to, or that there are no options for reading the Conservative side of issues. The problem is that the liberal colleges and liberal media dominate our country and the majority of Americans are unaware that they are getting a slanted, distorted view of reality. That is why we complain.
