FROM The Booth Experience: A guide to surviving overcommitting

Before I came to Booth I was warned of the dangers of overcommitting myself. Alumni and second year students alike advised that I know what I wanted, guard my time, and to be unafraid to say no, but to also open myself up to new experiences and say yes to as many things as I […]

FROM The Booth Experience: The Future is Female

My sister pointed out to me at one point in my career that I had never had a female mentor. It was a jarring realization because I felt like I had always worked with an equal amount of men and women. Looking more closely I realized my peers were women, but my mentors and leaders […]

FROM The Booth Experience: Student Groups at Booth

Booth has a myriad opportunities for its students and some of the coolest opportunities come from the student-led groups at Booth. As a prospective student, I heard about these groups, but didn’t realize just how active they were until I actually became a full-time student. Booth’s pay-it-forward culture plays a big role in keeping these groups […]

These neighborhoods may be more broadly categorized based on their relative orientation to the Loop: Central, North Side, West Side, and South Side (further sub-categorized by near and far i.e. Near North Side). Lake Michigan also borders Chicago to the east, and […]

FROM Booth Student Perspectives Blog: My Favorite Class at Booth

There is no shortage of incredible classes to take at Booth. It’s a tradition that second years share their all-time favorites in our #academics Slack channel each quarter, which inevitably sends course bid point prices skyrocketing. If you’re unfamiliar with how Booth uses a bid pricing model for classes, I’ll spare you the details, but […]
