Illinois Institute of Technology Top Questions

There are so many research opportunities! Any student who is determined to get valuable experience for their careers, can easily get it.

The diversity of this university is amazing. Also, there are a lot of undergraduate research offered here.

The diverse population of students and how everyone seems to get along regardless of different ethnic backgrounds.

IIT is dedicated to sustainability, we don't even use trays in the dining commons because it is a waste of water. The school is extremely small and interactions can be more high school-like than college-like. The buildings, though historical, are mostly falling apart. The people are what really make this university. The friends you will make are the best people you could meet. The transfer out rate is high and not very many people graduate from IIT (like 60{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} or something). IIT isn't for everyone, the environment is harsh but if you fit, you fit.

The small size of IIT is definetly its strong suit. Because there are not many students everyone is able to get involved in miriad of activities and organization, or even make their own organizations. It is also great for student-professor relationships. I know most of the professors in my major personally which helps in finding research and jobs.

-Rich cultural / historic urban location right next to downtown Chicago -Inspiring campus designed by distinguished architects -A program that is dedicated to practical issues as well as innovation -Tuition is lower than that of most private schools

The Illinois Institute of Technology is unique in that many undergraduates students are allowed to cooperate with professors and participate in research. For example, one of my first year physics friends is currently working with one of her professors on his research at Argonne National Laboratory. By doing so, students are able to gain real life experience in the fields of their choice. Also unlike many other prestiges universities and colleges, the IIT community is small enough to allow students to interact with and develop professional relationships with professors on a personal level.

It is one of the good schools offering education in business subjects as per informations I could gather from my relatives and friends.

When people think of IIT, they think we do nothing but study, study, and study some more. And we do study a lot. But I have met some very well-to-do men that were clients of my father's limousine, and they all told me something that speaks of the results of an IIT education. And that is that when they see this school on a resume, they know that they will got top production from that applicant, without fail. We are going to school to get education to get a job -- and employers love graduates of IIT! In other words, it does its purpose as good as anyone else. But don't forget that there's nothing wrong with having fun while in pursuit of this life goal.

I would definitely recommend IIT to anyone looking for opportunities to further their career dreams in regards to the various majors that IIT offers.

IIT is great

The thing that is unique about it is the fact that it is, out of the others I considered, the best school that hosts my major of civil engineering.

It is in Chicago and offers discounts on anything in the city.

More career focused and more acadmically focused.

We have interprofessional projects (IPROS) that help immensely in learning about your major.

Small campus, "interesting" surroundings, awesome Chicago, and Shimer colelge sharing campus space.

Although the university is in a large city the campus has large green areas. Alot of students sit, eat and read on the green areas. These areas are used for the new "frisbee golf" they recently added, and playing football and soccer. The most open of these areas are right in front of the building I use most, which is Crown Hall. I once saw a HUGE snowball fight in this area at 3 in the morning :) It was great to see people taking a brake from the intense homework load.

There is a real nice student to faculty ratio.

It is located in the city, complete with public transportation on campus, and yet it maintains a suburban feel. It is also small enough to be a real community, not just a bunch of people crowded together who pass each other on the sidewalks from time to time.
