This.  MIT has been a lottery for decades.  And “kind” is not an adjective ascribed to their students ever, I think.  [/quote]

Huh?? Ask a Boston cabby. No joke. Day 1 in Boston cabby says, "Ah you MIT kids are wicked smart and much nicer than the Harvard ones" lol.

I went to MIT and it was so hard we had to work together to survive. It was us against the institute. When I got stuck and needed help I ask the upperclassmen or friends that were genius in whatever class that was for help. At our sorority we also created course bibles to pass down and help others.[/quote]

My experience (MIT PhD program) was the same. In one of the first-year classes, the homework was so tough that we formed groups to work together and figure it out. And some of my classmates already had advanced degrees from Europe or elsewhere. The atmosphere in the department was incredibly supportive. [/quote]
