The amount of freedom I have to coordinate my own academic and social life. I am living in one of the new dorms with access to a fully stocked kitchen, lounges on the several floors, a fully stocked kitchen, and a clster arrangement of rooms with separate large bathrooms for each side of the cluster and a huge lab available to us 24 hours a day. I feel comfortable and safe and that important when trying to complete an engineering major. I am slso close to my family and can go home if I need to.

The best thing about my school is the gym. In our gym, there's an extremely big pool, many different places to play sports, and a fitness area. I take adantage of the gym every chance I get. I like the gym because it's a place where I am able to go and actually be stress free. When I go to the gym, I am able to regain strength from any problems or struggles in school. Me and a couple of my friends get together on the regular basis and go to the gym. I love the gym.

Katherine

There are several things I like about my school. The students are so diverse but really work to help one another out. The teachers work really hard to make sure you understand the material to not only pass your classes, but succeed in your future career. The University is also very quick to receive new types of information/research and uses a variety of ways to teach and help you understand the material.

MICHAEL

The best thing about my school would be it's location. It's located minutes away from downtown Chicago which is really nice because there is plenty to do when not in class.

Hilary

The best thing about my school is the opportunity it provides to live in a large city and the experiences and challenges that come along with urban areas. Being in a diverse environment, that happens to be one of our nation's cultural hubs, allows me to expand my thoughts and interactions with others while exploring my more esoteric interests by spending my weekends exploring the museums and visiting and studying the different religious happenings in the city. The constant expansion of thought and self is truely worth the cost of my education, and the daily challenges that it presents.
