Complex is relatively clean but the amenities and appliances are average at best. There's little to no security so non-residents can come and go as they please before 10pm or so.

This apartment is filled with students. Fine place to live when you have no income coming in and have to live here. Otherwise, you could get way better bang for your buck living elsewhere

MPP is a convenient building to live in and convenient for UoC graduate (Booth) students but it is lacking in amenities and its style / features might indicate one should look at nearby alternatives (MILA and 73ELake). Doorman situation is lacking and card technology is outdated / hard to use. Gym is good for treadmills but otherwise uninspiring. No outdoor pool space. Rooms are old with weird fixtures and lots of old wall-wall carpet. No disposals or good ventilation above stove. Very high (c. 200+/month) heating bills in the winter. Bad (c. 150+) in peak summer for AC. Transit convenience is a plus.

The apartment itself is fine. The common space is pretty small, as well as the bedrooms aside from the master bedroom. Walls are super thin, appliances aren't great, and the staff are generally pretty rude, especially at the package center. That being said, it's by far the cheapest option and it's also the center for Booth's social scene. If you want to be social and save money, live at MPP.

Better square footage, upkeep, finishes, and amenities — at a much better price — than you can get in NYC, San Francisco, Austin, etc.
On top of that, MPP is I ncredibly conveniently located for access to the lake, the lakeshore trail, Millennium Park, grocery stores, restaurants, bike lanes, stores, and public transit… the Metra station is literally across the street and it takes 2 minutes (no exaggeration) to go from the lobby down to the train track for the 15-20min train to campus.

It’s also great when it comes to the Booth community, because so many students live here, in this building, or within one block of here. It’s luxurious to walk to study groups, dinner parties, or apartment parties in your slippers, without a jacket.

For downtown Chicago, the rent here is extremely competitive. The apartment is average in terms of amenities, cleanliness, etc. I really value the location and environment being a student.

The apartment is much better than anticipated! My views are AMAZING, and I only pay $1120 a month. The kitchen is functional, there’s lot of space, and I love being able to go to every pregame without leaving the building.

MPP is fine to live it, if you’re coming from Boston or NYC, the apartments are very spacious. The amenities are not good, but who needs them as a grad student??

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

Nothing amazing but nothing crappy. The building is a bit run down
