I know people that aren't happy here, but I think that if we're not in the middle of a ton of work that a lot of us are happy here. I've really enjoyed the 2 years I've spent here. And it's not so bad that you can't do extracurriculars or have friends or anything . . . I do a lot of extracurriculars (AFROTC, varsity softball, concert band, campus crusade, rooming chair) and have time to do stuff with friends, and am doing alright in classes (and I am NOT brilliant). I've made really good friends, had a good time, learned a lot (mechanical engineering is a really good major, I love it) and it's nice to know that I can make it in a tough environment like this, doing what I'm doing (meaning extracurricular activities), because it means I should be able to handle anything else that comes along.

What saved me was that I did my research on natural product synthesis and I had to be very independent in my research. Companies viewed this as an important asset. Although I did very well when I interviewed for positions in pharmaceutical companies directly from school, in hind site, there are many programs that are better than MIT. In fact, I have been very involved in recruiting new Ph.D. students, and we have actually stopped interviewing at MIT.
