I live about a 10 minute walk from school, which is really convenient, and there are a lot of good restaurants, shops, and bars within walking distance in Evanston.

Hi there, Just to clarify, the MMM program does give you an MBA degree from Kellogg. You also receive a Master of Engineering Management (MEM) degree from the McCormick School of Engineering. I certainly think the MMM program has as much value as the “regular� 2Y program, but I do think it's not...

Hi there, I think certainly the caliber of the education regarding the high tech industry is very strong at Kellogg as well as the other schools you mentioned. I can’t speak particularly to the part-time programs since I didn’t investigate that option when I was applying to school but I can shar...

Kellogg is very student-driven so there are tons of activities to get involved in -- pretty much anything you'd want to do there's a club for it or you can start one.
