Must I go through all the things to do in Chicago? One of the biggest cities in America, there’s plenty of professional sports, a vivid nightlife, plenty of places to make connections and intern and also some of the top schools in the nation.

"A city as large and diverse as Chicago offers a wide set of internship and career opportunities for college students and plenty of entertainment options in the meantime: five big-four sports teams, Wrigleyville and other trendy bar areas, Second City comedy club and plenty more."
