Students that attend IIT go to study and become future leaders, not to fool around or party. I am currently learning so much from the architecture program. The professors are practicing architects and although I just ended my first semester, I feel like my work is improving a lot! In addition, there's people from all around the world and a lot of student organizations!
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Its Chicago so if you like the city, you will love IIT. Its on the South side and next to the White Sox stadium. Theres so much to do! Students here are friendly and nerdy, you will find someone to hang and study with for sure.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
This place is expensive. About $43,000 a year!!!! The good thing is that every one gets financial aid and this school helps you get a job quck. I had to pay a $3000 loan and that was it for my first semester, but I am really poor so FAFSA helped A LOT.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
A tip I would give students is to not go by the name of the school. Evaluate a school by the career you want to have and the opportunities that an institution can give you. Also, if you dont have the money, still apply because you might be surprised by how much financial aid you may receive.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
I recommend students that live in Illinois and want to pursue architecture to check this school out. Its one of the best in the country, and there is architecture all around, since you are in Chicago. Thats what made me choose the school. Also, you have to be patient, motivated, organized, and very dedicated to your work. Soccer is also a big thing at IIT.
