I'll be visiting Chicago this winter for the first time...and I'm from Phoenix, AZ. It would seem to me now that I am far more behind in my preparations than I thought. I really did think some pants, boots, sweaters, and a coat would do it! This is good info to note. I’ll be visiting Chicago this winter for the first time…and I’m from Phoenix, AZ.

This isn't insurance, but at participating dentist you can get a 10-20% discount on your dental cost. Alternately, you can opt into the dental coverage made available to you by the University. Also, a note about making you health insurance election. Even if you're just going to go with the default basic plan, it pays to logon to the web-site and tell them that now, because then they will go ahead and mail you your insurance card and other information right away, instead of waiting until after the October 9th deadline to make changes.
