It's been challenging and engaging, but unnecessarily frustrating at times, too. I would not have enjoyed being an undergraduate here. A word of warning—the MIT brand name is not always as useful as people would like to suggest. Perhaps it will get you a job, but mentioning where you go to school can, and has, ended otherwise friendly conversations. People are intimidated by the name. They shouldn't be. It's part of the (fictional) mystique.
Responses
responseYeah, I had a similar experience. People can be more intimidated (or in love with) the brand than necessary. It can be a bit deleterious to conversations and social relationships…
