Intramurals

Hi everyone!

I hope you are doing great! This week we played for the Volleyball Coed Graduate Intramurals (the Coed format is the one where men and women play together). Although it is a competitive tournament, there is nothing like professional level playing, so we basically play just for fun.



In most of the universities in the US, the intramurals sports are divided by season. So you will have sports that are played on Autum, Winter, Spring and Summer. This is good because you always have something to do and you can always join a team and play for a huge variety of sports. However, the only bad thing is that this format doesn´t allow you to sign up for a team an practice for long periods. Please notice that this is only for the graduate students. The undergrads do have a varsity team for every sport. Off course, they also spend a lot more time as students.

In any case, I guess that the University of Chicago is not particularly known for their sports´ competitors hahahaha.

So take this into account if you will be traveling abroad for your graduate studies. If you are an athletic person, the university´s facilities will provide you hundreds of options to do some physical activity, especially those related to cardio and working out.
