The students’ experiences include:
- traversing the Windy City during rush-hour;
- participating in an orchestral High Mass at St. John Cantius (Saint Agnes' "sister" parish in Chicago);
- hearing a lecture from Dr. Joseph Mordente entitled "Life in the Real World" - a talk on the competing philosophies of reality and the epidemic of relativism;
- eating deep-dish pizza at Pizzeria Uno where it was invented;
- chanting Vespers with Benedictine monks downtown;
- viewing the city from atop the John Hancock skyscraper;
- meeting with a priest who is a Judge at the Tribunal for the Archdiocese of Chicago;
- attending a lecture by renowned Jesuit, Fr. Kilgallen;
- visiting the famous Art Institute of Chicago;
- enjoying authentic Greek food in Chicago's Greektown;
- Riding the "L" subway of the Chicago Transit Authority.
