What impressed you positively?
The friendliness of the EVERYONE there. The windows are really quite nice- great views of the city from nearly every floor. The way the buildings are all connected to each other- Chicago can get really cold in the winter! The cooperativity of the students. The way the profs give the students a packet of everything they need to know for the class instead of using a notes service. The high-tech lecture halls. The location- so close to so many great Chicago things. The amount of people that have stayed at Rush for so long because they simply like it there.
What impressed you negatively?
The lack of a formal program for doing work abroad in the summer. No gym, but you can use UIC's or other gyms for a discount. The quarter system (as opposed to semesters).
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The Rush has a good ID department.
What are your general comments?
Great interview day. The students were friendly and helpful, well organized day, relaxed atmosphere, they take you to and from the interview areas (I have been lost before) diversity is apparent and celebrated.
