Chicago Is Our Campus
While our campus is located in Hyde Park, our students live, work, and intern throughout the city.
Which means that a Booth MBA isn't confined to a single location. Instead it extends north to the Gleacher Center where you can take alternate sections of classes, into the neighborhoods as you explore local restaurants with Epicurean and Wine Clubs, and throughout the Loop where you'll live in close proximity to your classmates.

As your experiences during your MBA take you across Chicago, you'll find that this city is so much more than simply where our MBA program is located. In fact, Chicago is:
- The city you'll call home
- Where you'll network with industry leaders
- How classmates become community
Let us show you how Chicago is our campus and how it can be your campus, too!
Speaker 1:
Your campus really is the city, and not just the few blocks that you go to school in.
Speaker 2:
I feel like it's a good balance of a big city, and still a good cost of living.
Speaker 3:
I do genuinely believe in the Midwest hospitality and friendliness.
Speaker 4:
Everyone wants to let people and let the world know, how special it is.
Speaker 5:
Sometimes if you're leaving campus around 4:30 in the winter, you get this beautiful sunset over Lake Michigan. You just kind of get the chills, like, "Whoa, this is my life here."
Speaker 6:
The proximity and the access that we have has sort of made downtown Chicago, our playground for classes, and for recruiting.
Speaker 7:
There are so many different nexuses of different industries here from tech, to banking, to consulting, to CPMG.
Speaker 8:
We're dealing with alumni, who have offices all over the city, so we get to explore more in that way.
Speaker 9:
It's a great place to advance your career if you really want to get in on the ground floor, and build something.
Speaker 10:
I think living in the city with all these Boothies is an amazing opportunity.
Speaker 11:
And just given that, a lot of the apartments are close-by, downtown, it's a great opportunity to just hang out.
Speaker 12:
And then we can go grab dinner, or we can have a study group at someone's apartment.
Speaker 13:
You can even have your small network here, but you then you also get to explore the city, and really be part of it.
Speaker 14:
It makes it a very unique Booth experience.
