The Massachusetts Institute of Technology

MIT is a great place. You may take it for granted while you are here. As a senior I realize that love this place, the people, and the opportunities it has given me. Sometimes it has been rough, but it hasmade a better person because of it.

There is no question about the quality of the education here-- it's amazing. The only problem is that it's not automatically uploaded into our brains, which means that there is *a lot* of work. Sometimes we think about how much easier life would be or how much more free time we'd have if we just went to a different school-- but in truth, I'm glad I'm here. The environment is enriching-- I am surrounded by astonishingly brilliant people that I constantly learn from, almost as much as (if not, at times, more than) my professors. About architecture-- since it is a Bachelor of Science, not a B.Arch, you'll need to go to grad school anyway for a professional degree. There are definitely better schools for undergraduate Architecture, but I feel that here I've gotten the chance to get a *really* strong overall education, and then will get to focus on Architecture more when I do my Masters.
