[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is a current student.  The amount of time she puts into studying and barely gets her a B.  She says you walk into an exam and its nothing you have ever seen, you just have to see if you can figure it out.  Socially she is doing really well. She has dropped classes too because it wasn't a fit with the professor's teaching style.  [b]The UROPs very hard to find in engineering[/b] if you didn't do robotics, 3d printing etc in high school or you aren't going the PHD route - the professors don't want to invest time and they don't need free labor - they have plenty of cash;  they need folks who don't take a lot of time to get up to speed.  You may luck out in finding a good advisor but for undergrads, its your peers that help you out.  She says you sink or swim together.  Last week, she told me she wouldn't recommend folks attend the school unless they want to have a soul sucking experience.  I ask her if she is learning and she says yes but she says whats the point of doing all this work when in the end you will be compared to others who have better GPAs when getting a job or going to grad school.  She now realizes its not worth all the struggling etc for the MIT name but she is in too deep so she will finish it out.  I feel for her.  [/quote]
This is interesting. I would have thought it would be quite easy at MIT. I guess I'm wrong.[/quote]
