Hey, I recently got into UIC and have started thinking about which neighborhood to live in. I've heard many students live in Wicker park/bucktown but I'm leaning more towards living near Lakeview (close to southport or ashland). Does anyone do the commute from Lakeview to UIC or know how manageable it is?

Not true, to the poster above. Delays are equally possible on all subway lines. In Manhattan, all of the subways are safe to ride in the day time. Most are alright at night also, but that depends on the location. The 1, which goes to Columbia, is certainly safe at all hours to ride.
