To get through the Institute, you really had to learn hour to manage your time and triage. Some people say going through MIT, you can pick 2 out of 3: Academics, Social life, or Sleep. I often picked social life and sleep, so my academic record is not great, but not bad. I still put in the time on my work and went to class. If you dont take any time to learn material, you will fail. Take advantage of all the resources availible. TAs and professors were very approachable and helpful.

They do not put much work into making the campus look nice. *People are too busy to have real friends at the institute. You will end up picking your homework over your friends or friends over your homework and you lose either way. *People here are crushed *People will lie to you and say that they don't work that much when really they are working all the time- so mindgames *people on perscription drugs to help them concentrate *You constantly feel stressed out *If you aren't the type to study in your room there aren't that many great places to study unless you go out to Boston *dull campus life. *socially inept stressed people lead to a bad combination *Homeworks are created to learn new concepts you have not been adequately taught so you WILL have the experience of not knowing how to do a pset for sure. In this case you betterhave a tutor, know someone who has taken the class or get the answers out of the TA *Classes assume a very good grasp of math before you even get there *lack of socially conscious ppl Positives *You will leave here thinking critically about everything *You will learn how to manage your life and learn study skills *You will learn how to put your studies first and everything else on the backburner- so you will learn to focus *reputation *confidence in your abilities to figure things out Surrounding City: A+, Campus Aesthetics: F Have a Question?

Coming back from an alum perspective though, the opportunities it presents are top notch. Everyone wants to hire MIT grads and you can develop a network of great friends who will also possibly be helpful to your career. Just be prepared to earn these opportunities. If you don't, you won't be at MIT for long. Useful Schoolwork: A+, Campus Aesthetics: C Have a Question? Your Response/Question:     To be informed when someone replies to your comment.
