<p>Are the arts at the Illinois Institute of Technology existant? </p>
<p>I was looking online at their site and I did not see much along the lines of Extracurricular in the arts, or any performing music ensembles.</p>
<p>The little I found was by doing a search of the IIT webpages. This is one of the few items that came up. [Illinois</a> Institute of Technology](<a href=“http://www.iit.edu/~edserve/vandercook.html]Illinois”>http://www.iit.edu/~edserve/vandercook.html). It appears that any music classes, lessons, or performing ensembles are in conjunction with VanderCook College of Music, a separate institution noted for its music education programs. </p>
<p>It seems that there is a unique relationship between the 2 schools, as VanderCook students actually use IIT’s dorms, dining facilities although to the best of my knowledge are two distinct institutions.</p>
<p>You might want to call IIT directly and ask, or visit VanderCook’s webpages for cross registration info and parameters.</p>
<p>I did find an IIT student run Gospel Choir webpage. Perhaps there are other student directed music opportunities at IIT. Try looking under student life/clubs & organizations.</p>
<p>Im from Chicago so I know a little about this. I know that students at IIT can apply to take classes at Vandercook, just like they would to take a class at a community college. There are plenty of extracurriculars at IIT but because it is a technology school, the pickings will be slim. However if you are passionate about IIT, I know you will definately be able to find plenty of arts opprotunities within Chicago.</p>
