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!

MIT is every bit as amazing as you've heard. Opportunities afforded MIT students would be unimaginable for students at most schools. So too workload, course rigor, social scene, creativity & level of student & faculty accomplishments. Yeah there are unfortunate MIT stereotypes, they're far from reality; Maybe generated by people at other schools to help them feel better about not being at MIT.
One aspect of MIT worth mention-money doesn't rule. Getting a deposit in quickly won't get you a better dorm. No deposit is required. You won't be closed out of MIT related trips cause you can't afford them.MIT doesn't charge for them. Admit chances aren't higher if you're wealthy, donate money, mom went to MIT. You won’t be surrounded by people who flaunt money or use it to beat out others. It’s not lack of students from wealthy families but money isn't coin of realm-that's achievement. Looking for a place where money speaks more? Go up Mass Ave.

Amazing classes offered and very flexible with exploring classes and choosing classes to take for your major. Also provides a diverse class selection, including STEM, humanities, research, ethics, arts, social sciences, and physical education.
Also great, collaborative student body that's very hard-working and amiable. The professors are also very interested and engaged in what they do.
MIT also offers a very strong mental support system with many resources for dealing with counseling, unique circumstances, and other struggles.
