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.

Overall happy with my experience

its good, community is worth! so many boothies in this building!!

It is a good budget options right in the Loop by the train, but very few frills. A good part that many other Booth students live here so many study groups are right upstairs in the group study area.

MPP is the most affordable and comfortable option for Booth students, especially international students.

Gets the job done and is close to the train, which is convenient.

Good location. Bad management. Perfect for Boothies. It's a no-brainer.

The primary feature of this place is the other Boothies that live here. The location is great, and when balancing that with the rent, can't be beat. Steps from Metra (to get to Booth's Harper Center) and CTA (airport, around Chicago). It's several hundred dollars a month more to live across the street.

Negatives:
-Older building
-Dated units
-Small fridge in studio (not terrible, just not great)
-Elevators constantly broken

Really like our apartment, super good location. Some amenities are a little run down (e.g. heating) but its not a major issue, good value for the money

You live here to be part of Boothie community, there's always something going on. Management could be more on top of elevator and printer maintenance, but I've enjoyed living here. No in-unit laundry was an adjustment.
