MIT

Like their neighbors in Cambridge (Harvard), The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is one of the most selective schools in the world. Unlike their more famous neighbor, once you get in, the workload is notoriously difficult. This is a school for the very bright, very serious student who wants to work hard. Over half major in some type of engineering, and another quarter major in science. Architecture is also offered and a small percentage major in management or a liberal arts field. Whatever the major, MIT grads are sought by employers and many have gone on to make significant contributions in their chosen field.

Many unique buildings make up the campus from the 1970’s inspired library to the classic columned structures (pictured) housing the bulk of the academic classes, to the new dorm that looks made of Legos, the windowless silo chapel, and the indescribable student center (pictured).
