Chicago grad schools - IIT vs. UIC?

I am currently a student at IIT. So far my experience with the school has been extremely positive and I believe the cost of the education is well worth it. The school is not for everyone, though. It is an extremely demanding program and students work day and night. Students who come here are extremely dedicated to getting the most out of their education. There are three tracks that the school offers: Human-Centered Communication Design, Human-Centered Product Design, and Design Planning. Attending an open house would probably be the best way to get a flavor for the school and its culture. Good luck!
