IIT is a popular university for international students. The CS dept is good here and the Information Retrieaval lab here is excellent. The faculty are generally friendly and helpful, barring a few. The student fraternity is also very good and if you intend to, you will find it easy to get into active groups here. Chicago is a beautiful city with some fantastic infrastructure and excellent transportation. The IIT campus is also pretty and well-planned.

Nevertheless, the campus is located close to a slightly insecure area. The funding scenario and assistantship opportunity is very poor. It also is difficult to get an on-campus job, without which one cannot get an SSN.

Overall, IIT is a good place to study in. One has to be clear about one's intentions and requirements.
