We? Lol.


Given the cost, surely it is a family decision.

We chose MIT. If your DC is very firm about going the academia route (PhD and then professor), MIT and Caltech can be a debate. Otherwise, it should be MIT.
Something DC like about MIT:
Larger school with potential to social/network with a lot of people
The work hard and play hard culture. DC is having a blast so far, having a lot of fun while also working hard.
Very supportive and highly active entrepreneurial culture if that's your thing.
Arguably the best recognized brand name. Most of the programs rank #1 in the world and the rest are in top 5.

Can they visit both and decide? Caltech is smaller with a very tight student body. Some kids prefer that and some prefer the larger experience. Also, California versus Boston. Congratulations to your child!

My DS had this option. He chose MIT. Benefits include: better location in a cool city with public transportation; more balanced gender ratio, more options of majors in case he were to change his mind, easier access for trips home and for parents visiting, great restaurants nearby, amazing internship opportunities(although Caltech might have those also). It was an easy decision and a really wonderful experience for him.
