MIT - not majoring in Math/Science?

As a student most interested in language, linguistics, and international relations and development, would MIT be a good fit?
I am well studied in math and science, but by no means a genius or even particularly advanced. I am most interested in MIT because of its philosophy and linguistics depts - I mean, Noam Chomsky is a professor…!
I would hope to major in either International Relations or Philosophy/linguistics (it’s a combined major) and minor in environmental studies, perhaps… not quite sure yet!

Obviously MIT is an incredible school, but is it worthwhile for a non-math/science major?

Opinions and experience are much appreciated.
