Student Experiences
I love how vibrant Chicago is and how Feinberg's campus is central to all the amazing things the city has to offer. My favorite part is how supportive the city is to leading a healthy lifestyle. I really enjoy being able to take morning walks to class, evening bike rides by the lake and weekends enjoying water sports like kayaking.”
