The campus is beautiful, but just like any other college is USA. However the view of Boston city from across MIT from memorial drive in breath-taking and a must watch for tourists visiting the area!

The building architecture and grounds are simply amazing! To all die-hard gamblers, they actually offer a course in card counting!

Excellent site in Boston, internationally known. A real university city, with everything around it. You didn't saw anything like this before, specially if you already known the institute and its work.

We went to the MIT Comedy Night and really enjoyed the professional comedians and the student ones as well. Wish there were Kiosks to help navigate the campus area!

I came to visit MIT after visiting Harvard University earlier that day and I have to say the biggest and best difference between the two is that at MIT you can actually go into all the buildings.

I really visited to see the buildings, and oh boy, they are really impressive.

The school is impressive and well worth visiting but make sure you arrive early in order to secure parking.

Nice place if you can get into it! We travelled all the way from England for an Open Day appointment for my son. He was very impressed and hopes that he will be successful in gaining entry to MIT in 2014
