What is the “stereotypical” engineering experience supposed to be? I also love the way you make an argument that people should go to Harvard rather than MIT because the people are really cool because
1. That has nothing to do with the quality of education
2. That is not true at all, everyone knows that you are more likely to find a stuck up person at Harvard than MIT.
I do really like MIT than Harvard…
lol not uniformly good? u think harvard is uniformly good? harvard suffers from grade inflation n so much more… our engineering courses are much better
Lol, so true.
MIT
Berkeley
Stanford
Illinois – Urbana Champagne.
That is all.
NE is horrible
Honestly, MIT seems better to me since I have been an international exchange student from Puerto Rico to MIT and Harvard never really caught my attention…I have to say though…in general, it’s pretty much the same everywhere you go, the only difference is the professors in all honesty, but the books are all the same, the same thing is being taught all across the country, from Caltech to Harvard to MIT…
huh? is that supposed to be a test of my statements?
really? why dont we meet. I see that you are kolkatan. I have bengali friends
dude, no one has seen harvard and MIT more closely than I have… i talk from experience…
harvard has good quality? good quality what? dude, you obviously have never been part of Harvard. the attitude of academia there is “we are harvard, we are giving you a degree . be grateful. it gives us license to teach like crap. ” it is one of the things larry summers tried to rectify. look it up. MIT places more emphasis on good pedagogy.
MIT is very big in engineering compared to Harvard but its quality is not as uniformly good as Harvard. People sometimes get surprised when they hear that in terms of research impact, Harvard is currently ranked No. 1 in engineering!
