MIT is a wonderful place—if you're willing to work hard.

One of our deans said the following, which I think pretty much sums it up: "MIT is the kind of place you love to hate, but you really don't hate it. What you hate about it is the enormous pressure that people put on you here and which you also put on yourself. What you love about it is the enormous pressure people put on you and you put on yourself and that you can accomplish and succeed and produce and learn… students are telling me they're having a great experience here however you look at it. They're exhausted, they don't sleep enough, they don't eat enough, they get frustrated and depressed, but at the end of the road, they have a fabulous experience, but, they hate how hard it was to get there." -Dean of Student Life Larry G. Benedict
