Studying at the MIT has been an enlightening and enriching journey. The opportunity to learn from some of the most distinguished professors and work with bright, ambitious peers is unparalleled.
The curriculum is rigorous and challenging, which I appreciate as it pushes students to their intellectual limits. MIT's focus on combining theory with practical application is particularly engaging. For example, not only did I learn the theory behind machine learning algorithms, but I also got to implement these algorithms to solve real-world problems. This hands-on approach is what sets MIT apart from many other institutions.
Furthermore, MIT's culture of innovation and entrepreneurship is highly motivating. The environment encourages students to think outside the box, fostering an innovative mindset. It's also commonplace for undergraduates to work in research labs, contributing to groundbreaking advancements in various fields.

Currently reaching near the middle of my time here, and this school truly works you to the bone. The baseline of this place is that everyone is very smart. Some are decently smart and work hard enough to get in, others come in doing Olympiads from when they were 5 years old.
The students are very diverse. Some come in "normal", others finally get to truly express the weird and unique that they've been suppressing their whole lives. The campus is extremely welcoming and you really get to be who you want to be; it's very beautiful. Each dorm has an extant history and culture; you can automatically learn about someone by what dorm they live in.
The academics are exceedingly difficult by content and pace. The problem set difficulty are elevated beyond a typical school's, and they force you to collaborate with others. Everyone must collaborate. You're forced to learn time management skills.
I was finally able to satisfy my love for learning here. Truly an amazing and unique school!

At MIT, it truly is "drinking from the firehose" as they like to describe. While classes are intense, I found my peers to be extremely willing to help and work through our homework together. I never felt like I couldn't ask for help from my friends. Between professors and classmates, you'll find a very supportive environment and collaborative culture. In terms of social life, I was surprised by how much MITers like to party and socialize. Unlike other universities, most of the party scene is in the fraternities (>50% of MIT men are affiliated in Greek life). Majority of students live on-campus, or in independent living groups close to campus, which creates a really tight-knit community feel with campus. A few things I would like to see change are MIT Admin's focus on student life and amenities. Over my years at MIT, there were many issues regarding dorms shutting down, facilities being outdated (e.g., student center). Would love to see more investment in student life in the future
