Illinois Institute of Technology Top Questions

No funding given to students ( Masters)

Nothing. My school is amazing, I love it. The buildings are close by and take less than 5 minutes to walk to from the dorms.

The population of IIT is diverse, but most of international students are from india and china. So they always together and ignoring others. For example chinese students talk to each other chinese in all lessons and some TA's are talking with students in Chinese. Because of this there is difficulties in making friends and improving english. Some chinese are disrespectful to others they tend to help only each other. Some TA's might help their chinese students.

We are far from any grocery stores. You can only get prepared foods on campus.

The only thing that I do not like about my school is that since students are so focused at school, they do not really want to socialize at all. I am making friends slowly though.

i think school is pretty much good. I dont have complain about it

I am a transfer student at IIT , and If I have to compare to my previous college and IIT, IIT is really good school for engineering major. For me , the worst thing about IIT is it doesnt have class between 12:40 to 1:50.Because usually I have classes are ending up at12:40 , then I have to wait to other 1 and half hours to get an other class. It messes up my day (i have morning classes and late afternoon classes).This is I dont like about IIT

The fact that there is no social activities and that everything on campus is dead. Furthermore it is a commuter school therefore numerous students commute to campus and the rest of the students tend to keep to themselves. The school does not sponsor enough student events.

I'm not too sure since I haven't attended the college yet, but I do wish that tuition would go down. Tuition is ridiciously high.

Every school has room for improvement. In my opinion, I think my school could decrease their price a little more.

Scholarships: There's almost no chance of increasing your scholarships after freshman year even if you deserve it. Also full tuition scholars are not held to the set standards.

It has a bowling alley and a sound-proof train tunnel.

Dealing with the technology upgrades when a project is due. The school isnt that great at organizing things based off the students.

so far i have not found anything bad

I would say that the worst thing about this school is that it can be expensive. This is a private school and they offer a lot of great financial aid but it is still more expensive than in state public schools. The school has great computer labs and equipment for students to use so its good to see that the money is going towards the students.

The social life at my school is very minescule. The amount of events and typical college fun is virtually non existent. Most of the student body would rather stay inside playing video games than going out to spend time with new people.

I don't like where the campus is placed. I feel that it is sometimes a dangerous place to be at in the city, especially in the night. I would love to be able to explore around the campus as well as the city; however, exploring a block too far in the wrong direction will put you in a bad neighborhood.

The professors are mor focused on research as opposed to working with students in some cases. The campus lacks an overall college feel to it.

The worst thing about IIT is the way that the administration treats the students. It is not a service oriented culture. If you have a problem with something and need to get it fixed you will usually have to talk to about five different people before you get an answer. This semester I actually lost $2000 of a scholarship I was awarded because of their refusal to work with me in a timely and considerate manner.

I believe that the worst thing about my school is the fitness center. The school is amazing for its academics and history behind every single building but students need a place to get away and relax. Most students go to Keating Hall which is our fitness center. Four of the basketball hoops are broken, all equipment is damaged or in bad shape, and some windows are cracked and broken. Its a great stress reliever to just go work out or play some sports with friends but at Keating it is very difficult to do.
