There are some pretty nice places to nap on campus. Especially with the banana lounge in 26-110, nano building, and libraries, there are always comfortable places where I can take a nap. But even before the banana lounge was on campus, I still got pretty good at taking naps here

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 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
