Advisors Have Your Best Interest at Heart

While I have not officially started classes in my major (Mechanical Engineering), I have already met with my academic advisor and spoken with other various professors in the MechE field regarding my classes. They were all extremely attentive and helped me work out my class schedule for this semester and the semesters to come

Cambridge to Boston to Anywhere!

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is not only considered a great research university where students from barely-adult freshman to aged and wise post-doctorates get to rub shoulders with Nobel Laureates but it is also an amazing place to live. Just a walk across the Harvard Bridge to Boston, our location is the perfect hub to enjoy the fast life of Boston as well as take the collegiate route by enjoying MIT-living and launching an occasional "hack" on Harvard. With over 30 colleges around the area, there is no dearth of students around the atmosphere is electric with intellectual and physical energy. People of all ages run, work out, go sailing, or row crew in the area. The night life is impeccable and every TV screen in taverns are hooked on some New England sports channel. Even in the coldest of winters is there a shining light that "Yes, Cambridge is indeed a magical place to live."
