Pros: Reputation for rigorous teaching helps open doors. Cons: Failure to develop social/emotional skills closes those same doors.
This page is based on my experience at MIT at the undergraduate school, as opposed to the graduate school, which is a very different environment. In particular, undergraduates often arrive needing both social and intellectual development, whereas ...
Pros: prestige, undergraduate research opportunities, connections... Cons: tuition, lack of undergrad support, changing campus
As a fairly recent graduate, I'm going to try to take you through the pros and cons as well as I can and help you understand why I think MIT is a great place -- for some -- but why I cannot recommend it to everyone in general. Here's What MIT Can ...
Pros: Incredible opportunities and resources, best overall education Cons: tons of work can be painful at times
There's a saying around "the 'Tute" that getting an education from MIT is like drinking from a fire hose. It sounds painful but it's only true because the resources, classes, activities, and opportunities available in the school are beyond what...
Pros: Undergraduate access to professors and research, highly demanding and accommodating of the gifted Cons: Stuck in industrial era model, overly caters to government, sucks life out of the students
Pros: Great hands-on experience, Incredible learning experience Cons: Lots of hard work, very technical program
The Mechanical Engineering department at MIT is the best education in design that you can find. It’s also a well-rounded program in mechanical engineering that covers all of the important areas. The basics you have to take include materials, stress...
Pros: Learn while working with other students Cons: I spent 40+ hrs a week, it became my life, I loved it.
In 1994 and 1995 I was a member of MIT's Solar Car Team (Solar-Electric Vehicle Team SEVT). During that time I worked on the car's chassis, body, and when they let me electronics. Involvement with the team was one of my fondest memories of being at the...
Pros: Great education; opens doors Cons: It's a lot of work folks
I am an alumnus who graduated with an S.B. in mechanical engineering in 1991 and an S.M. in materials science in 1993. The best aspect of an MIT education is the high intellectual caliber of the student body. After all, the engineering programs at...
Pros: MIT has made a huge move in offering all courses free on the Web. Cons: There are no cons.
MIT is to be congratulated for taking the future of the Web
into consideration and encouraging all of its 900 or so professors to offer free in c-space all courses of one of the world's most distinguished
academic institutions.
Pros: Unparalleled in academic excellence. Home of the most amazing students in the world. Cons: Not for weak of heart. You will work...Hard.
As a tour guide at MIT for the last two years of time there as an undergraduate, I could go on and on about the pros and cons of attending, about the concerns people typically expressed, etc... That will take me forever, and this is not the best forum,...
Pros: Best engineering school in the country Cons: You work your ass off here
MIT, where the unofficial student motto is "IHTFP" (the first two letters stand for "I HATE" and the last two letters stand for "This Place"), is unparalleled in both the engineering education you receive and the amount of...
Pros: Hundreds of choices, passionate participants Cons: Some participants you may not want to meet!
MIT is one of the strangest places on Earth. It's a collection of people with nothing in common other than they understand math. Not math the class or even the eccentricities, but math the language.
Pros: Once you get in you're golden. Cons: Tough admissions process, lots of people don't make it
At the time of writing this opinion, I have no affiliation with the Admissions department or with the Educational Council. This, I am probably able to offer more of an objective view of admissions into MIT.
Pros: many places to eat, within 10 minute walk. Cons: it is cheaper to buy groceries in supermarkets, but those are a bit far.
There are tons of places to find food (even after hours), if you are willing to walk a little bit to find it. If you are in the Vassar street area, there are food trucks next to the Technology square. For a quick bite to eat, there are also lunch trucks...
Pros: Top-notch education, stimulating conversations, well-rounded life possible Cons: Grueling, expensive, occasionally demoralizing.
Ha! Betcha never knew the 'Tute gives a Music degree!
Well, it does. Ironically, however, MIT does not grant any "Arts" degrees, so my diploma reads Bachelor of Science in Music. There was actually nothing scientific about my...
Pros: Wide range of styles, everything is connected to the net Cons: Eclectic mix of buildings, too much concrete
MIT's architecture style reflects the engineering emphasis of its students: the beauty is in the functionality. To be frank, the campus is butt-ugly, so much that students often refer to it as a "concrete jungle." The art is random, the...
