Illinois Institute of Technology Top Questions

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.
