The work load at Illinois Institute of Technology is designed to help students learn and how to use what they learn in the real world. Each and every professor here at IIT are very helpful, the one thing they tell you when you on your first day of class is: IF YOU NEED HELP ASK, YOU'RE IN COLLEGE NOW, NO ONE IS GOING TO DO STUFF FOR YOU ANYMORE, THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO BECOME WHO YOU ARE AND LEARN HOW TO SUCCEED IN LIFE!
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
When I first heard of IIT, i didn't think I would like it here, especially since I'm from Georgia and not Illinois, so being form out of state I had even more questions, but when I get here I was completely surprised. IIT isn't just all about books, there are countless student activities and clubs that will interest almost anyone. Its like many say Don't judge a book by its cover. IIT is an amazing school that combines a good education with comfortable and enjoying living for students.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
This year the tuition went up about about 6% which making the cost of tuition 28,512 instead of the 26 grand it was previously. The amount of experience that you will receive here in the end of course is worth it, since the graduating class of 2008 made in their first year between 80-90 grand. So IIT is worth it.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
If you're thinking of applying to this school, make sure that you do have leadership skills and that you don't just do things inside the classroom, because IIT also focuses on what students do OUTSIDE the classroom ,so try volunteering your time every now and then. Also when you are admitted and arrive on campus, don't be afraid to be yourself and make sure to get to know your teachers because teachers here do enjoy when students come to their office(that's what office hours are for!) and even talk to your teacher after class if you have questions, just remember, You're in college, no one is going to play mommy for you.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
IIT is mainly focused on architecture, engineering, and sciences, but they also have other departments such as business, and writing(communication or humanities). Usually you'll benefit more if you're interested in Architecture ore Engineering and Sciences though.
