University Introduces Mandatory ‘Cool’ Nicknames for Places on Campus
Have you ever considered how much time you waste each day pronouncing the full names of buildings on campus? By our calculations, the average UChicago student wastes three hours every day speaking out the names of various campus buildings in monotonous compliance. In order to help you regain this time and show off your knowledge of campus, the University has compiled a list of useful abbreviations to drop in conversation.

- Woodlawn Residential Commons (Jimmy’s)
- Christian Fellowship (satan worshippers)
