Illinois Tech's Office of Residence Life lists nine residence halls, including three apartment buildings, with capacity for about 1,400 students. First- and second-year undergraduates generally face a two-year residence requirement unless an exception applies; housing contracts and rates should be checked for the intended academic year.

Residential students must select a meal plan according to housing and class eligibility. Illinois Tech's 2026-27 rate page lists annual plans from $2,184 for Block 50 to $9,156 for All Access and identifies Saffron Indian and Middle Eastern, halal, Asiana Cuisine and Tea House options on campus.

Illinois Tech's Mies Campus is in Chicago's Bronzeville neighborhood at 10 West 35th Street. Official campus materials describe a modernist campus designed around Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's legacy, with Crown Hall, Galvin Library, the McCormick Tribune Campus Center, laboratories and student services close to downtown and Lake Michigan.

Illinois Tech provides public-safety officers, emergency information, safety escorts and campus alerts. Its Chicago location still requires normal urban precautions; students should follow current university procedures and local emergency guidance rather than treating campus support as a guarantee of personal safety. International students receive immigration and arrival guidance through the Office of Global Services, including financial-document and I-20/DS-2019 steps. Academic advising, English Language Services, residence life, health services and career support are available, with programme-specific requirements managed by the relevant college.
