Illinois Tech is without a doubt where I belong. If you are good at what you do, know what you want to major in, and want a clear path to a career, go to IIT. The campus is ten minutes from downtown Chicago and many people have a work hard play hard mentality.
Overall a decent tech school. Buildings can be updated as most are really old, but they are functional. Campus has a lot of resources for students to use such as an idea shop that has laser cutters and 3D printers. Somewhat commuter friendly as there are two train lines that are right by the campus. While on campus housing is not that great, the proximity to downtown Chicago makes up for that.
Let me start out by saying that my education here was really good - the graduate programs are generally well respected and rigorous. The professors are very smart and experts in their field of work. The school has excellent public transportation, and good facilities on campus. I wish there was a better neighborhood infrastructure - more bars, restaurants and shops. However, the food isn't the best and the tuition is incredibly high. But, if you are interested in school for school, IIT is an amazingly good choice.
This had to be the absolute WORST college experience I have ever endured. IIT is one of the most racist, classist, sexist, homophobic, and transphobic schools in Chicago in my opinion and experience. IIT is a perfect example of "diversity and inclusion" being used as a selling point to lure in BIPOC students from underprivileged backgrounds, so they will take out an egregious amount of loans to pay for this HELLA inflated cost of schooling (50K/year JUST FOR TUITION), when behind closed doors, they promote racial divide by fearmongering out-of-state students that black and Latin neighborhoods are "dangerous" (yes, the whole "don't go past 35th" is STILL being drilled into students' heads). This issue only amplifies within the SGA leadership and administration who make light (and even DEFENDS) issues such as racism or homophobia from students (*cough *cough Dean Katherine Stetz). As a black, queer non-binary student from an underprivileged background, I have endured every bit of the evils of this "place of learning". To any student from poverty-stricken backgrounds wishing to get into the STEM field, don't walk away from this place; RUN. Run far away from it. UIC or UIUC has better STEM programs for hella cheaper than here.
The fall 2020 acceptance rate for Illinois Institute of Technology is 57%. That means, out of _____ applications received in 2020 , _____ students were offered admission. The number of males who applied was _____ vs the number of females which was _____.
Because this question begs an honest answer, i will say that IIT offered me not much in the department of career. I am an architecture major, and the school spends most of its time teaching about concepts and art, and up until recently, has said little about actual construction or the practical application of knowledge. Although the school does an excellent job of confering theoretical knowledge, it is lacking in the practical sense. it encourages students to design impractical, inefficient, expensive buildings that could not exist in real life because of things like gravity. The school, however, does have its strengths. It teaches a method of thinking- a way to approach problems that could otherwise be intimidating or impossible. I have learned how to study problems in more detail to sometimes find better, less obvious solutions. The final thing i have gotten out of this college is a close network of friends and classmates who all help eachother with difficult projects and homework, as well as provide a nice social circle to spend time with and bond with in free time.
Many students prefer to isolate themselves. It is very difficult to bring people out of their shells. This fact is best obverved on weekends. Instead of a social and bustling campus, the campus is very quiet except for the greek community. Actually, without the greek community, the campus would be completely dead, always. The Greeks are very involved and are in many leadership roles in every major organization on campus.
From all over the world!
A haven for socially awkward people who love getting a 4.0 and then entering the workforce.
This school has a rich architectural history and is recognized by architects world-wide.
The commitment to education is a plus; every single class is very competitive. Also the fact that you are provided with opportunities to work on projects with people from different majors is a great experience that teaches team work and somewhat simulates a real world professional experience.
A person who percieves college as a place just to party all time like in some movies.
Somebody that is very smart and loves technology would favor this school. Since the community isn't that big, many students will have small groups of friends. Also somebody who would wants to focus on getting their degree and not really doing any nonsense activities such as drinking or doing drugs would like this school.
The fact that our party crowd at the school does not go crazy. that many people are smart enough not to make poor choices
The most frustrating thing about Illinois Institute of Technology is the deteriorating classrooms and buildings. There are several academic buildings that are in need of a restoration. There are cracks in the ceiling that leak water. However plans are being made to restore the buildings during the summer, when classes are out.
There are no intramural sports. There is nobody interested in starting them. The social atmoshphere is dismal.
Best Academic. Famous scientists.
I love all of my classes! IIT is one of the nation's top architecture schools, and it's obvious why-- I'm receiving a great education and will be prepared to enter the architectural field when I graduate. Another thing I love is that you know everyone at school here is intelligent, and it can be much more enjoyable to have conversations with bright people.
The size of IIT is perfect- it's not so small that you recognize everyone, but it's small enough that you see friends when you're walking down the street. The size also helps because it seems like faculty really cares about you and knows you by name- unlike big state schools where you'd be just a tiny unforgotten piece in a huge system.
Every now and then you might find people that fit the stereotypes, but that's bound to happen. I find it easy to make friends with people, hang out, and go to parties.
IIT offers a lot of social activities for its students- they're always selling discount tickets to musicals, sporting events, and movies in the city. One of the huge deciding factors in whether I came to IIT was its location- and I couldn't have asked for a better one! It hardly takes any time at all to get into the city, so if I want to shop or look at architecture or just hang out, it's very accessible by train: we have to train stops on campus.
The stereotype is that we are all Asian and do nothing but study.
All dining on campus is managed by the company Sodexo. Sodexo is a national company that services many college campuses. Unfortunately they have a contract that says IIT cannot get food from other vendors. They do offer a variety of options for getting food on campus, but many students are unsatisfied. There is also a 7-11 store on campus, and a Jimmy Johns, Starbucks, and a pizza restaurant incredibly close.
Spots are not a very important part of the IIT experience. Sometimes varsity volleyball, soccer, and baseball games are advertised on campus and students who attend can often get some free IIT swag. Athletes at IIT blend in very well. It's possible to join some of the sports teams without being offered a scholarship, so it doesn't really have the exclusivity factor that some other schools may experience. In addition to varsity sports, many IIT students will participate in some club or intermural sport. Besides the official teams, other club sports such as indoor soccer, cricket, badminton, bowling, and tennis see a lot of participation.
I'm actually not aware of any very popular classes. At IIT we are very focused on completing our major requirements, and not particularly interested in other offerings. I have heard that "History of Middle Earth" fills up quickly, but I don't actually know anyone who has tried to take it.
