“MIT is an adventure of a lifetime.Super BrilliantComputer Science
MIT is an adventure of a lifetime. You can do pretty much whatever you want here. If you get a TA who does not speak English to your satisfaction, you can simply switch into a different TA's class. If you need help, the Deans will both listen and be of assistance. Also, student's at MIT get to pick their own roommates. MIT does everything it can to make sure that the only thing that you are stressed about is your coursework. It tries to unburden you of your other concerns, while treating you as an adult. That's the other great thing. MIT views all of its students as grown-ups, and does not ask for their parents' approval about the decisions that they make. In all, MIT is a great place to be.

“If you are interested in biology, MIT isQuite BrightBiology
If you are interested in biology, MIT is the ABSOLUTE BEST place to be! I've been here for three years, and my experience with the biology faculty has been nothing less than amazing. The professors' love for biology is contagious. Not only are the professors some of the most brilliant brains you will ever meet, they are also so incredibly friendly, approachable, and supportive. At MIT, they really care about their undergraduates. Unlike other universities (ahem, Harvard), even MIT's most advanced biology courses are taught by professors (not TA's or postdocs). Also, MIT has a widely participated program called the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program that allows undergrads to easily get involved with the pioneering, mind-blowing research that goes on here.

“The word load atChemistry
The word load at MIT was so heavy that graduate school was trivial. While much of what I learned is out of date after 50+ years, the techniques of problem solving persist. A note: the tuition I paid was $800/year. That's about one week at the present rate.
