That’s all well and good, but you’re missing my point. I meant that MIT needs studying, unlike high school for many students. High school is full of people who don’t study (and many of them still succeed adequately). However, are there students at MIT who survive without studying? (Not a rhetorical question.)</p>

Again, I never meant that you have to stay locked up in your room all day to be able to pass. That would be ridiculous - I’d never consider a college like that and at any rate it wouldn’t be that great if there were any colleges like that, which I doubt there are. College life without fun and outings is like Ebony without Ivory - it’s just incomplete - and it’d suck if MIT didn’t give you that opportunity. I know it does.</p>

I’ll check those out in a moment - the MIT website might overload if I open any more of its pages in my browser right now. I don’t doubt you’re right, and I do not think you need to be an otherworldly genius or a 24/7 study-er to survive MIT. Just that you need study habits of some form depending on what you’re comfortable with.</p>
