Since its inception in 1890, Illinois Institute of Technology has built a reputation as one of the finest institutions of its kind in the Midwest. Although a private university, Illinois Tech is considered one of the best values for higher education in the United States. While IIT specializes in the sciences (boasting one of the top-ranked engineering doctoral programs in the nation), they school also features a robust liberal arts sector and remains one of only a handful of tech-based institutions to operate its own law school.
In your downtime, it’s easy to walk over to Guaranteed Rate Field for a White Sox Game, or to Burnham Park to enjoy tranquil views of Lake Michigan. Chinatown and South Loop are only a few blocks to the north, and both Metrarail and subway service stop near the campus, opening up the entire city to you anytime. The cost of renting near IIT can vary dramatically, although several apartments and condos are available for under $1000 per month. The Bronzeville neighborhood is known for its historic buildings, and offers many opportunities to live in well-preserved buildings and townhomes as well as more contemporary units.
