Spacious apartment, community spaces only okay
I love my studio - it is amazingly large and plenty of space for one person. I even have room for a pull-out sofa and am able to host friends when they are in town. The kitchen is also spacious and has granite counters and stainless steel appliances. Everything was clean and in working order when I moved in. When I've had issues, maintenance is quick to respond and resolves things fully.
Things that could be better: The elevators are very slow, communal space isn't very nice, and the gym in the building is small with limited equipment and is usually too crowded for the number of people who want to work on a weeknight.
That being said - the location is great, the building is nice, and I definitely love being at the heart of the Booth community. It is a 30 second walk to get to the train that goes to Hyde Park, its a 10 minute walk to Gleacher, and restaurants and grocery stores are easy to get to.

Spacious, fairly good layout, good front desk security
MPP is a pretty good place to live. It has its disadvantages but certainly advantages too. The apartments are quite spacious, the security and maintenance people are timely and helpful, and it is the main apartment building where Booth students live so is most convenient for group meetings, gatherings, parties, etc. Disadvantages include the small, outdated gym (but at least there is one!), communal laundry machines which I don’t think work that well, and the fact the apartments themselves look a bit old compared to some of the fancier buildings nearby. However, given the fact MPP is cheaper than the surrounding apartment buildings, I’m OK with these things.

MPP is good enough but you can find better
It's an old building with old fixtures. Can find a better facility but the downside is that for most social events you will be coming to MPP. So choose based on what matters more to you.

Great for your b school experience
I have absolutely no regrets about living in MPP for business school. If having nice appliances, amenities, apt gym, etc. matters to you, then I would recommend MILA or E73. But if you're looking for an affordable apt that just gets the job done, I'd recommend MPP.

MPP
Having a 2 bedroom/2 bathroom is a great deal in downtown Chicago for the price. One of the rooms is a master bedroom with an attached walk-in closet and bathroom. The building itself is ok - there's been issues with the elevators recently. Also one thing to consider living in MPP is that sometimes there will be lines of people (Boothies) to get up to the floors due to us all coming back from same event.

MPP dorm
Elevators take forever and the air conditioning units are out of date. But it's a great apartment and location for the price!

Good Enough for 2 Years
I probably wouldn't choose to live in MPP (or the Loop for that matter) if it weren't for Booth, but it's a good enough place while you're in business school.

Good community option at the right price
The apartments here get the job done at the right price point, but the services provided are far less than those offered at competing locations (73E, Mila). Would recommend these for couples or sponsored/scholarship students if possible. Community in MPP is good to have, though, and with so many Booth students in the building you see your classmates constantly, which is nice.

Convenient Location, not great quality
Location is great. The Metra station (Millennium Station, which you take to get to Hyde Park) is just across the street (no traffic), and almost everything you need is in walking distance. Gleacher Center is 10min walk. Also very convenient because so many Boothies live here, so you can go to study-groups and parties in your room-wear (important in winter).
Elevators are not good.Interior is fine, but wish we had more sockets. Wifi is OK. If you live on the east-side and on the higher floors, street noise is not a problem.

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.
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.
