<p>And I would respectfully disagree, having experienced the culture. MIT has plenty of architecture students, economists, linguists, business management (which is usually the second or third most popular major), and the like. You definitely should not restrict yourself to hard sciences or engineering when you think about MIT. What I would say is different: given the MIT core, you will not prosper at MIT if you don’t like or at least tolerate math and and sciences. Look most people at MIT like math to some degree. This has its benefits and its drawbacks. Economics at MIT tends to be highly mathematical, because the professors can assume a more than basic familiarity with the mathematical concepts that they may wish to use. MIT does do a fabulous job with most of the less popular humanities and arts subjects as well, and I know several MIT alumni who I speak with regularly who are working in the arts. Nor is there any sense that a music major at MIT is in any way a second class citizen. MIT is quite collaborative and quite supportive, and everyone has to get through the same core.</p>
