I've learned much moreElectrical Engineering
I've learned much more after college than I did during college. The MIT undergrad experience is unfriendly, theoretical, and confidence-damaging. But it depends heavily on your department.

Question
Reflecting upon the last three years, I thinkQuite BrightUndecided
Reflecting upon the last three years, I think I would have chosen to attend a different university. Some of the students here have malice in their hearts, and cold, disheartening attitudes. I hope to immerse myself in a completely different environment when I apply and get into grad school and continue to achieve great accomplishments.

Question
What make this university good? good question.Bright
What make this university good? good question. apart from having exceptional education system. it also has a very friendly environment. people here is really friendly and really want to help you if you get stuck on an assignment. but beware, you need to do some works first before asking for help or you won't learn anything. there is no cutthroat competition here. everyone here is suffered the amount of work load as everyone else. also, if you can't handle working everyday, then don't consider coming here. coming here meaning work, sleep, work, sleep. everyday, you wake up, you work more. wake up and work more. but you will get smarter. the key is to plan ahead and not to let stress get on you. also, realize there are other people around to help you out too. overall, this is the university that i think everyone should consider. i'm really happy to be here and experience it and i wonder where i will end up four years from now.
