Part 2: MIT Sloan Visit
Some Pictures:
MIT's Money Shot
Inside the Dome
View of Charles River/Boston from Sloan
Building E52
Main Auditorium
MIT Sloan Overall Impressions
The Good:
-Small class size similar to Yale
-Demanding coursework (great education)
-Big Grad Student population (outnumbers undergrad)
-Boston area has lots of schools near by
-Easy to take classes at HBS (2 stops down the red line)
-Great entrepreneurial resources (smart peers to collaborate with)
-Awesome Supply Chain / Logistics resources (my intended concentration)
-Great alumni network, especially in engineering/consulting/VC
The Bad:
-marketing class?
-too "quant", students refer to buildings by number (E53) and not by name
-Research seems to be the top priority at MIT
-not as diverse as Yale in terms of backgrounds
-Competitive grading, harder to stick out when recruiting
-Costs of living in Boston is similar to SF, much higher than New Haven
-Classroom discussions at MIT are not as interactive/energetic as that of Yale (both studied materials from case studies but the Yale students were more engaged)

hey there,
i enjoy these series of entries... back when i did my applications i considered MIT but ruled it out based on culture of students and focus/strength of the school.
is it just me or were you unimpressed with the buildings of sloan?
it's strange, Yale's buildings turned out to be a lot better that I thought they'd be while Sloan's facilities were a big let down.
