[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does any9one have recent experience with Caltech?  It seems super small and would have fewer opportunities than MIT for a kid that could get accepted to that kind of place[/quote]

I’m the MIT PP from page one and I had a good friend from caltech in college (she was doing her master’s at MIT while I was an undergrad).  They’re both excellent schools but have a bit of a different vibe.  Caltech is much smaller and more intimate; I got the impression students tend to know a good percentage of their class, there are school wide things that most people participate in, etc.  Kind of like a small liberal arts college (although coursework wise lol).  MIT is much more a big universities where students need to find their own groups and intro classes have 100s of students.  I definitely was much happier at MIT (I was absolutely wild to try on my newfound adulthood and independence) but my friend who’d had a rough time as a teen definitely made a better choice for her going to caltech.  As with CMU or Cornell, you’ll get an excellent education and lots of opportunities at either, it’s more a question of which school will suit the student’s personality and what opportunities they want.[/quote]
