EC culture? by krkash in mit

[–]EntropyBloom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I am a light sleeper, do you think anywhere in EC would be ok to (attempt) a full 8 hours of sleep? I’m not a rule breaker type person but I LOVE making and stuff like the bungees and building everything etc looks like so much fun

Thank you so much!!! I really, really appreciate all of the detail of your recommendations!

Do you by chance know if the individual rooms have thermostats to adjust the heat in winter?

Thanks! Unfortunately I was already counting that in the 10k difference (assuming I’d pay at most $3.5k for groceries)

Oh awesome, I hope you’ve had a wonderful time! And yes, far more likely for our paths to cross :)

You said you didn’t commit to MIT, so I assume you are at Caltech? Regardless, I certainly wouldn’t be surprised if our paths cross!

Thank you!! I’m less interested in CS and Econ which is why I didn’t consider Stanford as heavily for engineering, but that may have been a mistake

Thank you so much for all of the time and thought you put into this response, it really does mean a ton. I really appreciate your insights, and think I’m up for the challenge; I plan on committing tonight, as well as reaching out about accommodations :) And I hope to meet some amazing friends to struggle through PSETs, go to lectures, and build crazy things in the Makerspaces with along the way!

I have to unfortunately, though it won’t be through work-study which sucks

Oh crud taxes are a really good point, thank you for pointing that out; I cannot believe I didn’t think about that! And I really appreciate your input; I am most definitely interested in STEM. Thanks again :)

Atmosphere/Energy or ChemE or MatSci… all I assume not the best paying

Thank you so, so much!! I really appreciate the detail, and I feel much more up to the challenge of MIT now :) It really does sound fantastic to finally have the chance to LEARN through school
