For number and variety of colleges and universities, the Chicago area rivals the Northeast, making it the ideal base for a road trip.

But we also asked students what gave each institution its unique vibe. They took great pride in telling us.
Chicago schools:
- U.S. News Went on College Road Trips So You Don't Have to
- DePaul University
- Illinois Institute of Technology
