About
The Graduate Student Lounge is home base for UChicago’s graduate student population. Located on the fourth floor of the UChicago Bookstore, the Lounge is a space where graduate students from across programs can drop in for individual study, small-group collaboration, and socializing.
In addition to two bookable meeting spaces, we feature a quiet space, kitchenette with daily refrigeration service, free daily locker rentals, coffee, tea, and light snacks.
The Graduate Student Lounge is supported by a team of Graduate Service Specialists, who serve as resources for campus information and services.
Please direct questions, comments, and suggestions to GradLounge@uchicago.edu.
We look forward to seeing you at the Lounge soon!
