Wow, are you looking for good food at MIT? Unfortunately, there aren't many good restaurants nearby. But that's fine; Boston has a lot to offer. Here were some of my favorite restaurants for each occasion. I sorted each subcategory by relative expensiveness. Obviously this isn'

MIT Career Fair is one of the larger events on campus in the fall. Hundreds of companies crowd the Zeigar center and Johnson track and ice rink pre-covid, of course. My freshman year, I walked around the converted landscape, bumping into students dressed in all styles of clothing (people were

I loved orientation. It was a time of free food, excitement, and lots of new experiences. Since I didn't go to CPW, all the activities were novel and a bit... strange, but fun regardless. (In later years, I faked being a prefrosh to experience CPW 'in person&

I'm from Texas. It doesn't snow there. At least until I left for college. So I didn't know what to expect when I went to Boston, would I be able to adjust to the weather? I remember in elementary school when we had our

Although I majored in computer science and will recommend it to anyone willing to listen to me, I know that computer science is not for everyone. I hope that sharing my thoughts will help people make a more holistic judgement. But, you should still consider it!!! I thoroughly enjoyed majoring

Sometimes, I get the craving to play the piano. However, while on campus, I can’t wander up to my piano and play some notes. There are a limited number of pianos on campus with varying levels of tunedness and privacy. Therefore you can’t be as spontaneous. Note: I

I still vividly remember back in high school when I would walk the empty halls a few days before the start of school. I would try different paths between classes and figure out when I could use the restroom in the allotted 10 minutes. I still recall how large I

What do people do when they graduate MIT? It's funny to see how many of the majors have common career paths ahead of them. These all play into the stereotypes of the majors at MIT. It's an easy litmus test into figuring out what you could

When I go back home, it's easy to say, "I spend all my time on campus," but in reality, I actually spend a lot of time across the river. Whether it is to my fraternity, Boston Commons, or Chinatown, I actually make frequent trips outside the

Did you know that computer science is a popular major at MIT? Well, it’s pretty obvious once you step on campus. More than 40% of students are majoring in something related to computer science. And once you go to the career fair, you’d feel sorry for all the

I'm always impressed when I see people in libraries studying. For me, seeing people I know distracts me a lot (especially people I haven't seen in a while). Even for a relatively small school (compared to public schools), it's easy not to see people
