<p>Currently I am between MIT and Princeton, and a determining factor is the way in which students complete their work. At MIT problem sets are meant to be done in groups of people, most even ask who you worked with at the top. When I visited the studying situation was extremely interesting, it was a bunch of people sitting around a table and helping eachother out if anybody needed it, econ majors helped kids taking econ for the first time, it was a great environment to learn in. I wonder, how does this compare to the way that Princeton students approach their work? Also for the sciences and engineering courses, are problem sets the norm, and massive majority for assessments or do these students still write essay?</p>
<p>I second the question! :)</p>
