The Chicago Booth Experience

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by membership [?]

This review is for Booth

Program Full Time MBA

Class of 2017

Experience during the program

The support for job search, for both summer internship and full time, is exceptional and backed by the professionals in the Career Sevices Office as well as by fellow students who volunteer through a structure support program.

The curriculum is extremely challenging and allows for extensive development of both soft skills and quant skills. The ability to study under professors such as Eugene Fama is something that I have truly enjoyed.

The students within the program are all very supportive of each other in the classroom and during the job search.

The social life is amazing. Lots of trips around the world you can sign up for as well as student groups that plan a wide range of activities around the city. For students coming with significant others, the Booth Partners Club is the best thing ever. It's a group specially designed for partners of students that organize events throughout the year. Events include fun activities to make friends and explore the city as well as job searching support for partners. This is really helpful since the student will be very busy with school and recruiting. The Partners Club makes the partners feel like they are part of the Booth B-School experience as well.

Added bonus: Living in downtown Chicago is the best. Affordable apartments compared to other large metro areas with lots to do and an endless amount of great restaurants.
