Your Chicago neighborhood: Gold Coast – close enough to all of the Booth action in the Loop while also allowing me to experience living in a classic Chicago community. Walking distance to all of the restaurants / bars in River North as well.

Why did you choose Booth? I loved the flexible curriculum that allows students to take courses most suitable for their career paths, lab courses that provide for experiential learning experiences, and how Booth maximizes its location within Chicago.
Favorite class? Negotiations with Bernd Wittenbrink and Real Estate Investments I & II with Joseph Pagliari
Favorite thing to do in Chicago? Jogging along Lake Michigan, trying new restaurants in the West Loop
Favorite trip taken with fellow Boothies? Toss up between Random Walk China and Spring Break Colombia
Favorite Booth experiences thus far? So many to choose from, but I’ll go with LOR (Leadership Orientation Retreat) – what a great way to bond with my classmates in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin!
