Our Campus: An Urban Oasis
North Park University’s campus is located within a diverse urban neighborhood on the North Side of Chicago, easily accessible by car or public transportation.
North Park’s proximity to the city allows us to create an oasis in the urban jungle. You will find ample green space and the Chicago River flowing right through campus.
With LEED Gold Certification, the Johnson Center has more to offer than high-tech classrooms and laser labs. Inside, you’ll find the Center for Student Engagement and ever popular Einstein Bros. Bagels, located in the Bickner Bistro.
Stay healthy with our state-of-the-art recreation center in the cool winter months or hot summer days.
Whether you commute or live on campus, you have access to all campus resources, security, and community.
There’s always something to do even if you’re not throwing the frisbee on the green space or studying in the Viking Cafe.
If there’s one thing that we know, it’s that eating is important, and great food is more so. You’ll find numerous on-campus dining options including our grab-and-go Viking Cafe, the newly-renovated campus dining hall, and Einstein Bros. Bagels. We know that there’s so much great food in our neighborhood and in Chicago, so we’ve put together our list of favorite places to eat. You can use our lists as a springboard to create your own Chicago dining experience.
