<p>Before all of you bias people go unceasingly negative on MIT, a school that many of you acknowledge know very little about, please take time to understand the other side of the wall, one that you probably never bothered to look at. I’m saying this because I’m pretty sure many of you would get mad if you heard somebody say that one shouldn’t go to Yale because it’s located in New Haven and there have been murders on and near campus at Yale. I means seriously, who would want to join a school where there are people in labs that are murderers?[Murder</a> of Annie Le - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Annie_Le]Murder”>Murder of Annie Le - Wikipedia)
Who would want to go to a school where you don’t feel safe walking around at night. <a href=“http://www.yaledailynews.com/news/2011/may/24/new-haven-fourth-most-dangerous-city-us-according-/[/url]”>http://www.yaledailynews.com/news/2011/may/24/new-haven-fourth-most-dangerous-city-us-according-/</a> I mean when I was in Cambridge, I took a 8 mile run at 11:00pm into Boston and got lost but I still felt safe and eventually found my way back to the Mass Ave Bridge. Safer place to live > Social scene.
Some of you probably are probably mad at me right now but STOP and think for a second. Then you would realize that you are feeling how a MIT kid feels when you guys talk falsely about their school. Have any of you guy’s attended MIT? Have any of you guys actually spend a prolong period of time at MIT (like a summer?)? If you haven’t, then you are not qualified to say that their social scene sucks. Experience it first and then come back and talk. Don’t go with the “I THINK” or “I FEEL”, I’m pretty sure you don’t write argumentative papers for your professors using those words. If you think that MIT kid’s don’t have a social life, then why is it that 1/4 of their students participate in Greek life? Why is it that they have some pretty cool clubs like the MIT Laboratory for Chocolate Science where you get to play with Chocolate making for fun? Why is it that they have some wicked sweet intramural programs such as where you can get a unofficial pirate license by taking rifling, sailing and fencing?
Before all of you guys try to justify your actions, read this thread <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/massachusetts-institute-technology/1176465-social-life-mit.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/massachusetts-institute-technology/1176465-social-life-mit.html</a>
I mean seriously, Yale students just try to use reason to justify their “social life” because they really don’t have one other than ponder the philosophical meaning of life or whether we really know what we know. Oh hey, since Yale has such good humanities, shouldn’t you guys who “know so much” about MIT be thinking the question, “How do we know what we know?” Think about it.</p>
<p>P.S. I don’t hate Yale, in fact I love the campus and the school. The reason why I say all these negative things is to help some of you understand what it feels like to have some misleading rumors spread about the school you care about. Hopefully this helps people understand to not go assume what others say is true but instead go and understand the other side.</p>
