For the people graduating from Illinois Institute of Technology or current students, what’s your honest opinion about the school now that you’re near the end of your time here?

If you could go back and redo college all over again, would you still choose IIT, or would you have done things differently?

Personally, I have mixed feelings. Academically, the school definitely pushes students hard, especially in engineering, architecture, and technical majors. The workload is intense, classes are long, and it’s definitely not a typical university experience. I do think IIT produces hardworking and ambitious students, and many people do land jobs after graduation.

At the same time, I feel like there are a lot of issues students don’t fully realize until they attend. Communication between departments can be frustrating, campus life feels isolating at times, dorms and facilities feel outdated, and the budget issues at the school seem noticeable in many areas. It sometimes feels like students are left to figure things out on their own.

I honestly think if I could go back, I would have spent more time comparing schools, financial aid packages, campus culture, and overall student support before making a final decision. I don’t completely regret attending IIT, but I also don’t know if I would choose it again if I had other strong options available.

Curious to hear other graduating students’ honest thoughts and whether you would make the same decision again or not.

I'm willing to pay money for an extra 9:00 a.m. tickets if anybody has some please hit me up.a also for anyone selling tickets please confirm your student email before you claim you have tickets.

I know it says mandatory but what if I miss a day or both days?

Hello everyone,

I have been admitted to a Master’s degree program in Information Technology through Coursera, and I have been accepted. However, I am currently unable to register for any classes. When I try to use the “Register and Pay” option on the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) portal, I encounter the following error:
“The system configured for external authentication and identity assertion is null.”
I have submitted multiple tickets to the support desk, but unfortunately, no one seems to have identified or resolved the issue so far.

Has anyone experienced a similar problem or found a solution?

I’m looking at the Online MBA from Illinois Tech Stuart School of Business (delivered through Coursera) and trying to get a realistic sense of the program.

For anyone currently in it or who completed it:

1. How is the actual student experience day-to-day?

2. Is the workload manageable with a full-time job?

3. How are the courses in terms of quality and usefulness?

4. Does the Coursera format feel smooth or clunky in practice?

5. Any regrets or things you wish you knew before starting?

6.Overall—do you feel it was worth the time and money?

I’m mainly trying to understand whether it actually holds up once you’re inside the program, not just on paper

I need an extra 9am commencement ticket hmu please
