Illinois Tech鈥檚 main MBA programs are located 鈥渋n a separate building in downtown Chicago. That building houses law, design, and business school students only, so there isn鈥檛 much activity there really, just serious-looking students walking to and fro.鈥 Still, 鈥渢he open-space layout of the building and the open-minded students allow for students to be able to talk, ask questions or even ask one another to watch their stuff while they go use the restroom.鈥 The main campus has more life, including 鈥渁menities for kids and spouses,鈥 and there is a free shuttle to transport students between campuses. MBA stu- dents participate in 鈥渓ots of study groups, there are socials many Wednesdays and 鈥渢here is plenty of time for students to be involved in extracurricular activities.鈥 The way that Stuart is designed, there are also 鈥渕any opportunities to network both inside and out of school through events,鈥 and a 鈥渉igh level of trust, cooperation, and communication among students.鈥
The student body includes many 鈥測oung, hardworking, and individualistic鈥 students, who have considerable work experience, and it is 鈥渉ighly diverse,鈥 meaning that stu- dents are 鈥渧ery accepting of different cultures and backgrounds.鈥 One student observes, 鈥淭he diverse population aids in creating a learning experience unlike any other. Students learn as much (if not more) outside the classroom than in the classroom, just by inter- acting with everyone around them.鈥 When they can find the time, students love to take advantage of 鈥渢he world鈥檚 biggest financial city,鈥 which also offers plenty in the way of culture, entertainment, fine dining, and nightlife. Again, it comes back to location. 鈥淪tuart is located near the Chicago Loop in the midst of big-name business companies, allowing for excellent networking and job opportunities. It鈥檚 also very close to public transportation.鈥
