IIT holds diversity, a good name, and has unlocked a side of educational fascination that I did not realize I had. IIT, compared to other schools, has the ability to show me not just my potential, but how my potential fits in to so much more than what I had previously imagined.

It oozes the urban environment theme. A lot of schools seem to go for an Ivy League-esque kind of school where it's prestigious, but this school wants to fit in with the rest of the environment. Sure, there are a lot of buildings that seem misplaced, like the MTCC, which supports the CTA Green line train, but the real spot-on thing about the school are the creations people have made throughout the school.

Students ,after completing this program , see the world in a whole new way because of their exposure to different fields. Every student must participate in the IPRO! My schoolis a school that simply 'Unleashes the genius in everyone'.

The thing that made IIt stand out above all other schools was the fact that the school had a great social life/acceptance. I came here for a weekend and I was treated so well, the current students then took us out to place on and off campus, and no one cared how you looked, how you dressed or how famous you were. Everyone just got along. I remember telling my mother, Mom, I can SO see myself fitting into this school!
