Some of those questions, however, are best answered by current students. Our "Ask a Boothie" series will feature students answering your questions. Some are lighthearted, some are in-depth, and all get to the heart of the Booth experience. Each year our Boothies brave all four seasons and call this world-class city home. Why? We'll let them tell you as they answer the question:
Speaker 1: 00:09
The best part about living in Chicago is just how urban it is.
Speaker 2: 00:12
There are great restaurants here and the scene is amazing, and just doing a little bit more outdoorsy stuff, I think it's fantastic.
Speaker 3: 00:18
It is a big city with small neighborhoods within, so you're able to travel to different places, and no matter where I want to go, it's normally 15 minutes max.
Speaker 4: 00:26
You walk around and you're surrounded by these amazing buildings with a lot of different styles, so you do feel kind of in awe.
Speaker 5: 00:32
Definitely the weather.
Speaker 6: 00:35
I actually moved here from LA, where everyone thought I was crazy to go experience winter for two years, but once I moved here, I fell completely in love.
Speaker 7: 00:44
I, to be honest, love to have actual differentiated winter from the spring, from the fall. I just love it.
Speaker 8: 00:51
And it is the best city in the summer in America, hands down.
Speaker 9: 00:54
Since I came from New York, it's been great having more affordable rent for what feels like a palatial apartment by comparison.
Speaker 5: 01:02
Everyone in Chicago's super nice. There's a ton of stuff to do.
Speaker 8: 01:05
It's a world-class city with a midwestern feel.
Speaker 7: 01:09
It's amazing, because you get all the opportunities of a big city while still being able to get your head in the game for classes, for recruiting, for academics. That duality is amazing.
Is business school all work and no play? Not according to these Boothies.
