Massachusetts Institute of Technology Visit Report by jasii

Visit Activities:

Information Session: Yes - they basically told us to look at the information on the website since it was all there...i agree it was really helpful compared to some other schools

Campus Tour: Yes - if anyone is going to visit there, go take the campus tour...the students take you around campus and you learn alot about being there and the lives they live...its not so intimidating then

---

Campus:

---

the tour guides were really nice..and they weren't all nerds either!

---

didnt really talk to any of the staff

---

i thought it was really pretty and it sort of looked like a tech institute..everything was really green and the charles river was literally across the street

---

there was some construction when i went but overall it was pretty clean

---

they weren't spectacular, but they would do...i think every room has a view of the charles river which makes it sorta nice

---

my mom fell in love with it and i thought it was pretty nice too..it could be homely if u enjoyed it

---

Off-Campus:

---

well the campus is pretty big and then harvard is right next to it...

---

personally, i loved cambridge because it wasn't the city city but it still had the excitement...it is really the ultimate college town...i was quite impressed..then the river is nice too

Campus Visit Notes for Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Visit Description:

this was the first college we visited in boston area...it was quite impressive and there was definitely an intellectual air around the place...i thought everyone would be like so into their work and complete nerds and they were but they still seemed pretty cool. one thing the tour guide told us was that students dont really compete with themselves once theyre in...she said that everyone wants to good and so people help each other..theres not this intense competition that everyone else seems to think there is..but then again everyone is pretty smart. i think that sort of made me change what i thought about MIT in the first place.

Dining/Restaurant Recommendations or Comments:

i read somewhere that the food wasnt that good but like the place i ate was really good and pretty cheap for east coast...but that wasn't the dormitories
