The place to be if you want to have a B-School experience

It's cheap and a good place to be.
Proximity to the train station and downtown is a big plus!
Honestly, just pick the building where everyone else is going to live. That's what matters most.

Stay for the company not the building

MPP is not the nicest apartment and frankly I think is overpriced given its lack of good amenities BUUUUT I would still live here as a booth student because it’s like a dorm and it is extremely fun to be living where so many other students live.

Affordable and convenient

Living in MPP as an international is a pretty reasonable experience. It's not over the top but it gets the job done. Any problems with units will mostly be addressed pretty quickly.

You don't come for the building, you come for the community ;)

MPP is like a dorm, but in a good way (if that's what you're looking for!). ~80% of Booth students live here so it's very handy for study groups, house parties, movie nights etc. Above the 20th floor noise from the street is relatively ok (I started tuning out ambulance sirens and the like) but if you're not a city person / lived in the countryside the difference will be noticeable. The location is both a pro and a con: 15s away from the train station to go to campus and very central, but all restaurants close by 8pm (lots of options across the river 15-20min away though). Management took a while to respond during move-in period (i.e. Aug - Sept when everyone is moving in for the school year) but the maintenance crew was pretty responsive after that. Closet space is good for the master bedroom but more limited for the other bedroom (though if you're an international student coming in with 2 suitcases it's enough). The building and amenities (pool, gym etc.) are quite old but apartments are spacious.

The Dorms

My experience at MPP has been exactly as advertised - it is a great way to feel like part of a community, at the cost of a washer/dryer and soundproofing.

Social Scene is Unbeatable

The amenities might be a tad lacking but the strong social scene (Booth students) more than makes up for it!

MPP

What you would expect for a building at this price point in the Loop. Old building with utility package. Location not ideal given traffic and other activities on Michigan Avenue.

Management team is alright. Maintenance staff is good and timely.

Very secure and tranquil. Very close to public transportations. Namely millennium station which I use to ride the Metra trains to campus.
Very close to the lake and navy pier
Great park surrounded by all the buildings.
There’s good supermarket that has everything. A couple restaurants and coffee shops are also there.
Reviewed by Chicago Booth Student living at Mila
Amazing place to have a social life! It is super close to Gleacher and to where recruiting events take place. Most Boothies live in this area and that helps creating a nice community. West loop with amazing restaurants is 2 metro stops/5min uber. TNDCs also happen walking distance. Its also where most touristic attractions are so its great for when friends/family visit you.
Reviewed by Chicago Booth Student living at Millennium Park Plaza
Safe neighborhood and good because it’s where most Booth students live but it’s a little sterile esp at night. Lots of tourists around. I would not live in this neighborhood if most other students didnt live here. However it is convenient to get to most places around chicago. In the middle of everything
Reviewed by Chicago Booth Student living at Columbus Plaza Apartments
Columbus plaza is on the quieter side, a few blocks away from Michigan. Tides and park millennium are even quieter but lack the river views that CP offers. It can be a bit too empty at night, which may be of concern to some. Most of the nearby restaurants in the pedway focus on serving office workers so they close around 6pm. Great access to river walk for running or biking.
Reviewed by Northwestern Medill Student living at 215 West
The Loop has pros and cons. Living in the Loop is nice because during the day up until about 8 p.m. there are people walking around the streets which is nice because you feel more secure walking. However, on weekends and after a certain time at night it empties and it can be a little eerie.

That being said, if you're anywhere near State St. or the Mag mile, there's pretty much people around at any given hour. It's fun to live downtown because the streets are bustling with interesting people, sometimes there's live music on street corners and there are a lot of restaurants and shops.
Reviewed by Working Professional living at The Tides
Beautiful area in a great location with a dog park, playground, and full service grocery store in short walking distance. Restaurants and transit are just ok in this area, but not a bad walk to the "L" and that opens up the restaurant options. No close-by childcare for kids under preschool age, but great preschool and private elementary school, with high price tags. Ubers often find this place impossible to locate due to GPS's going crazy with the multiple layers of Wacker, Randolph, Columbus, and East South Water Street.
Reviewed by Chicago Resident living at Pittsfield Building
The Loop is an unlikely place to live but I love it. You are in the heart of the city, close to every L line possible, very good restaurants and walking distance to River North without paying River North prices for apartments. Apartments are smaller throughout the neighborhood but if you are an urbanite and don't mind limited closet space you will love it here. Mostly everyone is walking distance to work.
Reviewed by Chicago Resident living at Oakwood 200 Squared
Great location close to blue, brown, green, pink, orange and red lines. 10 minute walk to State St., 5-10 minutes to River North, 15 minutes to Michigan Avenue. Grocery stores aren't really walkable but most people in the building use PeaPod/Instacart. Safe to walk around at night. A lot of new restaurants (quick service) opening in the area.
