MPP is just fine to live for two years as an unemployed grad student. It's not perfect (slow elevators, lacks modern amenities, no central a/c), but I think the price reflects all of that. It's also great from a social and convenience factor to live near your classmates.

Not the fanciest but everyone lives here

The apartment is fine, but nothing special for the price. Management are passive aggressive and maintenance is shoddy (elevators on the fritz, falling ceiling tiles...)

I enjoy living at MPP because it is the most popular housing option for Boothies. I appreciate the community feeling, and the building is sufficient for my living needs.

The pros: Great location, decent-looking apartments, and the maintenance staff is very good/timely in addressing issues. Gym floor with pool, free yoga classes.

The cons: The elevators are a serious issue (they break down too frequently, and are generally slow), carpeted bedrooms. The laundry facilities are not great. Very noisy from street drummers.

The apartment is good and quite big. The building is not as nice as others

If you want to be right at the center of the Booth community, MPP is the apartment for you! You'll be steps from your classmates, and often won't even need to leave the building. Commute via train or Uber is very easy. However, the apartments are a bit more dated, and working with management can be challenging. Gym is also not great.

Great apartment if you want to be in the social scene and be close to transit

Would not live here otherwise, but MPP really a great building while at Booth. Most of the class is here which makes meetings/pregames/studying easier, located right across from the train to campus, and relatively cheap for the loop.

Large apartment for a good price, get everything I need from it, in a building with a lot of other students
