Pritzker (MSTP)
Pros
Cons
Summary: I think the most important factors for me are location and culture. I love cities, but also prefer to be able to see family once a month. Would appreciate anyone's two cents on how happy/safe students actually are at Pritzker.
Pros
- Closer to home (4 hour compared to 11 hour drive)
- research triangle is a nice area with good weather
- people seemed very bubbly and happy there
- more connections to industry
Cons
- require in person attendance daily
- research triangle is relatively small (I prefer bigger cities)
- not as much research I am interested in
Pritzker (MSTP)
Pros
- Better research fit
- I love the city
- Felt that I clicked with other prospective students
- very flexible, self directed curriculum
Cons
- Hyde park has relatively few things, need to take the train to downtown
- Safety
- Further from home and support
- Had to leave revisit early and didn't get to talk with a ton of current students, so unsure how their community actually compares to other schools I visited
Summary: I think the most important factors for me are location and culture. I love cities, but also prefer to be able to see family once a month. Would appreciate anyone's two cents on how happy/safe students actually are at Pritzker.
