Spacious and convenient. Unofficial booth dorm. Apartments are a bit old and Management is very slow to do repairs

Good for what you're paying

MPP is good value for the rent you're paying. There are not too many couples who choose to live in MPP given that they can likely afford a better place, but if you are in a couple it is a great money saving option with very few downsides. Some pros are that everyone lives here and it's cheap and convenient. Cons are that there are some floor plans that are not great (check before you sign!!) and the building is a bit old, although some apartments are refurbished. However the living room and bedrooms are huge.

GREAT apartment

This apartment is great. I have a gorgeous corner room with an unbelievable view of Michigan Avenue and Millenium/Grant Park and I personally pay $1150 a month which is less than a lot of students in my class. The El is only 3 blocks away and is a straight shot to Rush. I have lived here for 3 years with friends from college/back home and we are not planning on leaving. Definitely come check the place out!

Great Building, Not Fancy

Mostly a Business Student Building (60% of Boothies live here). Great access to school via Metra, good value.

Poor Management

MPP has the basics and is very close to all Booth students. That said, management is not helpful and safety is not enforced.

its aight

All I wanted was an apartment with AC and Heat.

If you're looking for no frills, then MPP is for you. It is quite convenient especially for first years to meet each other or stop by your friends' place real quick. I'd highly recommend for first years to live in MPP and after that move to a nicer place. In your first year, its important to build those friendships and living in the same building as all your friends definitely helps. It might sound trivial at first because MILA and 73E is so close by, but when its pouring rain or freezing cold outside, you won't want to walk over there. Same for the train. Its ten steps outside of MPP, but 2 crosswalks away from MILA and 73E, which is farther than you think when you walk in the rain. I didn't realize how inconvenient it would be for me to not have a washer and dryer. I used to leave all my clothes in the dryer until I had free time to fold them, but you can't do that here. The amenities like the gym and pool aren't that great, but if you are recruiting for IB or consulting - you probably won't use them that often until February. Since MPP is so cheap, you can live here and then get a membership at Lakeshore. Same for the laundry, MPP is cheaper than MILA and 73E, so you can probably pay to get your laundry done and folded. The best views are the 3 bedrooms ending in 04 and 03. It gets very noisy during the weekend - terrible singers singing loudly, drummers, and Mexican Independence week. If you value your sleep or afternoon naps, I'd live above the 30th floor to avoid these noises.

The Loop Reviews

349 reviews
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
