| I'm pretty sure about MIT at this point, but I hesitate just a little because I live in Boston and I wanted to go somewhere new for college. My other options are CMU, Lehigh, and U of Rochester, and they all gave me about the same amount of money. I have been turned off to Lehigh because of how important greek life and drinking are to the social scene. I also definitely want to be in a city, and Bethlehem does not offer much. Rochester would probably be great except that it does not offer much in engineering and I've heard the city is boring, not to mention the snow. I haven't had a chance to visit CMU, but what I've heard it is extremely focused and hard to change your major. Also, there are fewer girls there than at MIT. I think that MIT is where I'm going to end up, but I'm just afraid that I will miss out on some parts of the college experience by going to MIT. Of course, MIT is #1 for engineering and I will get an amazing education and meet some amazingly smart people, but I'm still just a little afraid to commit. I would really appreciate it if anyone cared to share any insight. |
