At MIT, and especially within my fraternity, I was able to take on more responsibility and develop better social and leadership skills. Materials science and engineering. I planned to study biology, but I majored in materials science and engineering. I expected college to be a lot of work. MIT certainly met my expectations with respect to the workload, but I've had a lot of fun too.
People do get out and socialize here.
I've become much more cynical. Some field of engineering. Frisbee, community service. I planned to understand how things worked. Because I enjoyed it, I also majored in math, for no real reason.
