Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Compared to Harvard, I prefer MIT. MIT is different from those schools. From its open spaces, I can see the cluttered desks in the labs, and through the glass walls, I can see all sorts of strange machinery. I feel the unique ambiance of a science and engineering school. Of all the buildings on campus, my favorite is the Ray and Maria Stata Center by Frank Gehry. Its unconventional design seems like it belongs only in cartoons or fantasy films.

After visiting Harvard University, you must visit MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), which is located in the same city as Harvard University.

At night, the entire dome of the auditorium of the iconic building will emit a charming light. If you have time, don't miss it to come here at night to enjoy the night view.

The streets seemed tranquil during the holidays, the autumn wind sweeping through the fallen leaves creating a unique autumn rustle. The campus is vast, and MIT today boasts several buildings housing various colleges, research labs, and teaching buildings.

In addition to the buildings designed by architectural masters, the interesting sculptures that can be seen everywhere on campus are also noteworthy.

The various bizarre sculptures are full of surreal style, which shows the genius creativity of science and engineering students. They never follow the rules and break the traditional style.

The science and engineering majors that students like me at Jiaotong University aspire to pursue. The most striking building on the MIT campus is a masterpiece by master designer Frank Owen Gehry. At first glance, it looks a bit odd, like a random assemblage of building blocks, a truly spontaneous design. From every angle, the building's sharp, triangular elements are visible, yet it feels as if it's about to collapse. Because of the holiday, we weren't allowed inside the teaching building. It's said to be filled with sculptures and paintings, making it sound more like a modern art gallery.

Another interesting item on display inside the teaching building is a police car, a prank by former MIT students. It was once placed atop the aforementioned domed auditorium, accompanied by a thick instruction sheet explaining how to remove it without damaging buildings, cars, or pedestrians. If you have the opportunity to visit the teaching building, be sure to look for what this police car looks like. Beidou, who has a background in science and engineering, is very interested in it.

Compared to the quaint academic atmosphere of Harvard campus, I seem to prefer the boldness and vitality of MIT campus. It is not limited to science and engineering majors. The art design here seems to be ahead of the world. Apart from those traditional models, there are many novel sculptures on campus. You may wish to take a look at the crazy ideas of MIT students while strolling around the campus.

The huge stadium located on the edge of the campus and adjacent to the dormitory area may be an important venue for MIT students to organize football, baseball, rugby and other games.

Another of my favorite buildings on the MIT campus is this incredibly unique-looking building. Actually, it's just a dorm for MIT undergraduates. It's got a very tech-inspired feel, a bit like the polymer pore structure Beidou studied. Inside, there's a small theater, a nighttime cafe, and a restaurant. Each dorm room has nine windows that switch on and off. The tint of the windows changes depending on the angle of the sun, providing heat to the building and saving energy. Since it's a student dormitory, it's not open to the public. If you're brave enough, you might want to wait for students returning to their dorms at the door and ask them to show you inside.

The first impression of MIT is the encyclopedic knowledge of its science and engineering students. The white human-shaped sculptures, composed of various letters, chemical, and mathematical symbols, are quite telling. The lobby across the way is simple and solemn. For us, who are not particularly interested in science, MIT is just a tourist attraction, not something we intend to delve into in depth. After a brief stop, we headed along Massachusetts Avenue towards Harvard University.

As soon as I got off the bus, I couldn't help but sigh that Harvard and MIT are two schools with completely different styles. Harvard is classical, while MIT is ultra-modern.

There's a Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts on the first floor of the student center, perfect for a quick coffee break. There's also a souvenir shop on the ground floor. MIT is renowned for its science and engineering programs, and its architecture department is consistently ranked number one in the world. Not to mention the various buildings on campus, which are incredibly artistic. If you have time, be sure to visit the MIT Media Lab. I didn't have enough time, so I skipped it. 5555.

Harvard's campus has a strong cultural atmosphere that has been accumulated over the years, while MIT has an academic atmosphere unique to engineering. The guys walking or riding by look very much like nerds from The Big Bang Theory. Various academic achievement exhibitions can be seen everywhere, as well as old experimental instruments or old research manuscripts displayed in the windows. The MIT campus is simply a museum of science and technology history.

Just south of Harvard University lies MIT, the epitome of science and engineering. As expected, it has a very engineering-inspired style, with every word appearing neat and orderly...

Personally, I prefer the feel of MIT's campus. It feels more like a university. Posing on campus is the ultimate courtesy for me as a visitor. Across from MIT is the Charles River, the azure waters against the blue sky are breathtakingly beautiful.

A high-tech university, a top-tier place for talent cultivation

Compared to Harvard, I didn’t see any group visitors at MIT (maybe it was because it was late). The campus was very quiet, with many students and professors walking in a hurry. The campus was filled with the atmosphere of us science and engineering men.

We mainly visited Killian Court, MIT's landmark building. The transparent classrooms and laboratories exuded an open and enlightened academic atmosphere. The bulletin board was posted with various academic activities, recruitment information, and even Chinese study abroad agency information. In the courtyard, four students were sitting in groups of three or four on the grass playing musical instruments.

Walking through the campus, rubbing shoulders with the throngs of students, it felt as if I had stepped back 40 years to the vibrant days of university life. While lamenting the passage of time, I also admired the current generation of talented individuals and the beauty and tranquility of the campus.

I took the subway to the MIT station, but couldn’t find the school gate when I came out. I just walked around and found that it was closely integrated with the factory. Technology must be transformed into productivity!

Massachusetts, just 20 minutes from Harvard, is a completely different place. Almost all of the science and technology buildings are open to the public, the hallways are a dazzling display of club and activity advertisements, classrooms are buzzing with debate, and new scientific discoveries are displayed on the exterior walls for immediate discussion. My favorite spot is the library, which overlooks the beautiful Charles River. When I get lost, passersby always offer their kind regards. Massachusetts feels much more approachable.

This college is the dream of thousands of students, including myself. It gathers the wisdom of the whole world and the most capable talents. It seems that ideas and opinions collide every moment, and sparks of thinking burst out, which is extremely exciting.

I envy the children who are still studying. Every time I walk through the campus, I really want to continue studying.

I saw a wave of bizarre and avant-garde architecture, the work of world-renowned architect Gehry. Someone commented that the buildings looked like "a bunch of drunken robots having fun." There's a staircase in front of the building, and by noon, students would sit there reading, chatting, and eating. Honestly, the sun was already blazing, and we were all about to leave, but they seemed unfazed and still sat there.

If Harvard represents the coexistence of modernity and classicism, then MIT represents the heart of technology cloaked in tradition. Everything around us remains as tranquil as it was a century ago, with massive Greek columns supporting a white dome, and sails dancing on the Charles River behind us as they always have. Yet, within these buildings, every day and night, human imagination and creativity burst forth, as dazzling as the Big Bang and as unwavering as the Charles River itself.

MIT has a very engineering feel, lacking many European-style or church-style buildings with red brick and green tiles. It's more of a modern, concrete and steel-clad campus. If you're driving or planning a campus visit, I highly recommend Cornell. Although it's located in the "village" of Ithaca, the campus boasts breathtaking natural scenery, with each season offering its own unique charm (though there's no real spring, haha). In summer, you can see waterfalls and canyons; in autumn, the entire campus is ablaze with crimson maple leaves; in winter, it's blanketed in snow, with some skiing to class. The campus also boasts incredibly delicious homemade ice cream and what's supposedly the best dining hall in the US. Standing atop the bell tower, which plays daily, and gazing out into the distance, truly brings a sense of inner peace.

There are plenty of paid parking spots near MIT, but the walk from parking to MIT can take around 10 minutes, and since MIT is quite large, be sure to buy extra time beforehand. I bought a three-hour ticket, but by the time I finished exploring and walked back, I saw only a few minutes left. Don't take chances; there are police officers who issue tickets for overstaying. On my way back, I saw a police officer handing out numerous tickets.

MIT's teaching buildings are quite scattered, so it takes a long time to walk around. If you don't want to go through a lot of unnecessary steps, you can book a guided tour. You can book a free tour on the official website (the website address is below). I didn't notice that there were any paid tours with big signs like Harvard's (or maybe I didn't notice them).

MIT's most famous odd-shaped building is located far inside and takes a while to find.

I've never dreamed of visiting the university, but I think it's still possible. The university is located in Cambridge, across the river from Boston. You can take the red line to Kendall/MIT and walk there.

There are student-organized tours available, but we just wandered around on our own. The most distinctive feature of the entire campus is the Ray and Maria Stata Center, known for its bizarre shape. Against the backdrop of blue sky and white clouds, the building evoked a magical feeling. There was a sign on the wall that essentially prohibited photography inside the campus buildings. Looking back, I'm not sure if I misread it, but I never took any photos inside afterwards.

Another unique feature is the "Endless Corridor," which begins in Lobby 7 and runs through the main campus building. The corridor is so busy with traffic that students once devised a set of traffic rules for it as a prank. Because of its proximity to the Charles River, the campus offers a view of the Boston skyline across the way.

MIT boasts a diverse array of architectural styles, many of which were designed by I.M. Pei, a graduate of MIT. The most famous building is the Great Dome, a majestic structure supported by giant columns and a landmark of MIT. Also worth mentioning is the Ray and Maria Stata Center, a complex interweaving of cylindrical and rectangular shapes, with vibrant colors and a sense of timeless modernity.

MIT is a little different from other universities, and its Roman columns are reminiscent of the Lincoln Memorial.

There is a work by Spanish sculptor Jaume Plensa, which was donated by an anonymous alumnus in 2010 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the founding of MIT.

MIT, if you go to Boston, you can go there, it's next to Harvard

There are so many interesting things in the MIT Museum, and there are some interactive parts later, just like the Science Museum. We arrived a little after 4pm and it closed at 6pm, so we didn't get to see all the exhibits. We bought some clothes and postcards before closing time and left. Our next stop was the actual MIT campus. We first went to the famous crooked building, which seemed to be the School of Engineering or the CS Department? Then we went to the main entrance of the school... If there weren't a lot of tour groups and buses parked across the street, we would have walked right past it...

MIT is full of students walking hurriedly with Starbucks in their hands.

i began to have emotional connection with those little gears

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), a world-renowned university on par with Harvard University, is located in the Cambridge area of Boston, on the banks of the Charles River, and just two subway stops away. MIT is renowned for its science and engineering programs, and its Sloan School of Management is also renowned. Even as a tourist, a quick visit to MIT and Harvard is truly rewarding. The tranquil atmosphere of a university, rich in scholarly spirit, emanates from every professor and student who passes by.

University architecture is also very distinctive. American universities don't have walls. Walking into Harvard's campus, you'll see a sea of red buildings. Meanwhile, at MIT, many buildings are uniquely idiosyncratic, lacking a sense of overall harmony, reflecting the innovative thinking of the engineering community.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), located in Cambridge, Massachusetts (in the Greater Boston area), is a world-renowned private research university. Founded in 1861, MIT rapidly grew in the aftermath of World War II, capitalizing on the needs of U.S. defense research.

MIT is renowned for its cutting-edge engineering and computer science programs, including the MIT Lincoln Lab and the MIT Media Lab. Ranked first in engineering and second in computer science in the 2016-17 Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU), MIT is considered an academic leader in engineering and technology, along with Stanford University and the University of California, Berkeley.

MIT is also a world-renowned university, ranked first in engineering. It's very large, with several connected buildings, and you can see some labs and classrooms. As expected, the architecture of the Institute of Technology isn't particularly artistic. The school is very close to the Charles River, and walking along the river, you can see downtown Boston on the other side.

The campus is quite modern. It's very open, with free access to all buildings. It feels more modern than Harvard University.

MIT—a science geek like me—never dreamed of visiting it, but a visit was certainly within reach. The campus is located in Cambridge, across the river from Boston. Take the Red Line subway to the Kendall/MIT station and it's a short walk from there. There are student-organized tours, but we just wandered around on our own. The most striking feature of the entire campus is the Ray and Maria Stata Center, renowned for its bizarre shape. Against the backdrop of blue skies and white clouds, it gave me a magical feeling. There was a sign on the wall that said photography was prohibited inside the campus buildings. Looking back, I'm not sure if I saw it right, but I never took any photos inside. Another unique feature is the "Endless Corridor," which begins in Lobby 7 and runs through the main campus buildings. It's so busy and bustling with people that students once created their own traffic rules for it as a prank. Because it's right next to the Charles River, you can also see the Boston skyline across from the campus.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is a private research university located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States. It moved across the Charles River to Cambridge in 1916.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, standing on the banks of the Charles River, is a pilgrimage site for science and engineering majors. The hurried pace of science and engineering men is also a common sight on campus. One of them who passes by may be the next person to change the world's technology.

The overall feeling that MIT gives people is that it is relatively open, which is mainly reflected in two aspects. One is the architectural style. Unlike Harvard's solemn and serious style, many buildings have exaggerated appearances. The other is that many laboratories in the main building use transparent glass. Anyone from the outside can see the researchers working inside. I have never experienced this in other universities.

It's a world-renowned university, but I couldn't find the gate when I went there. It's in an open block. Some of the buildings are abstract and there's nothing special about them. It's 2 stops away from Harvard.

MIT is one of the world's best science and engineering colleges and one of the most rigorous schools in the world. It is famous for its high academic pressure and is a gathering place for outstanding students in science and engineering from all over the world. It is world-renowned for its world-leading engineering and computer science. It ranked first in the world in engineering and second in the world in computer science in the 2015-16 Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU). Together with Stanford University and the University of California, Berkeley, it is known as an academic leader in the field of engineering and technology.

Massachusetts seemed more approachable: the main teaching building was accessible, and the hallways were filled with posters and notices. Visitors could also visit the campus' restroom. There were newlyweds taking photos on the lawn outside (I initially thought some leader was visiting, but it turned out the Lincoln was the couple's car). The main building was grand, the lawn was wide, the vegetation was lush, and across the street was the Charles River. It felt truly different. I loved it here.

Needless to say, I really envy the students who study science and engineering at MIT~

Massachusetts and Harvard are so close, so I stopped by. After a quick tour, it felt more modern than Harvard. No one was reading on the lawn, but I saw quite a few people taking lunch breaks in the shade. Building 32 is quite unique, with a large dining area and many students working on their computers. I really like the red sculpture near Building 32. I'm sure you'll want to visit and explore all the plazas and buildings near the Charles River in Massachusetts.

The holy land that science men yearn for the most actually does not lack artistic atmosphere at all, and the open mind is the reason why this school can become the holy land in the minds of all science men in the world. Ideas are exchanged and collided here, any ideas can grow here and be scrutinized and tested, and any weird ideas will not die here.

Most of the people you see in school are hurried students and tourists looking around.

The school provides free guided tours every day provided by student volunteers

It is very close to Harvard, but it takes less than half an hour to walk. The buildings in MIT are very unique, which is the characteristic of science and engineering.

MIT is a smaller campus than Harvard, but well worth a visit.

Compared to Harvard, Hemp Rope is indeed more science-oriented. The whole color is gray and black, and it does not have the artistic atmosphere of Harvard.

Students of science and engineering or parents with children must visit the MIT museum, which is both educational and entertaining and can really arouse children's interest.

The architecture is distinctive and modern, clearly different from Harvard.

Here’s a standard photo of MIT. The souvenir shop is quite large.

Famous schools have their own style, it's nice to go there once.

A very modern and well-designed school. I feel that the university environment abroad is really very different from that in China.

I walked around the campus, classrooms, and labs. It's worth a visit.

There are so many handsome guys at MIT! It was very cold the day I went there. When I was standing there in the wind, a handsome guy came up and asked if I needed help. He enthusiastically showed me the way!

The large, tall building of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is a classic European-style structure, with a dome and several tall columns in front bearing the name MIT. It likely serves as the school's main gate. MIT's style is distinct from Harvard's, with each building numbered, clearly reflecting its engineering and science-focused approach. The walls of the long corridors are often decorated with student-designed displays, adding a touch of life and sharing with us visitors their learning, life, and glory, as well as the relaxed, harmonious, and open atmosphere of American universities.

The industrial style is completely different from Harvard, with endless corridors leading to interesting laboratories and classrooms.

I particularly like the MIT museum, http://www.mafengwo.cn/i/3483126.html

Harvard has a strong literary and artistic atmosphere, while MIT shines with science and technology.

Compared with the softness of Harvard, MIT's architectural style is strange and angular, with factories and railway tracks.

I read in other people's travelogues that you can buy large lobsters in the supermarket and have them steamed on the spot. I also saw on the supermarket's website that they provide this service. In order to save money, we decided to check it out. As a result, when we arrived, the lobsters were all big and there were many other fresh products around, but there was no steaming service.

The white design outside MIT is very eye-catching. Across from this white building is MIT's teaching building, which has many student designs. The school's bookstore is also quite good. Since my stay was short, I didn't spend much time browsing.

Although MIT is right next door to Harvard, Harvard's campus is incredibly vast. Walking around both campuses would probably take the better part of a day, so I recommend taking the subway—it's only one stop away, but it saves time. After getting off the subway, I wandered around aimlessly. The architecture here is completely different from Harvard's, with more modern buildings. As I walked, I spotted unique architectural clusters. The MIT campus isn't large, so I explored it quickly.

It's close to Harvard, but the style is vastly different. The tech kids are all dressed in T-shirts and jeans, a stark contrast to the meticulously dressed Harvard students. But the essence of a tech institution is worth exploring. The "Half Way to Heal" sign on the Charles River bridge isn't inexplicably inscribed. The first floor of the main academic building is filled with labs, all with combination locks and off-limits to the general public. But the exterior walls are all glass, giving you a sense of the open yet rigorous scientific approach. What's inside the famous MIT dome? Hehehe, a working nuclear reactor. While it's a small, experimental reactor, the courage to allow such a dangerous object to exist in the heart of the city speaks volumes about the city's recognition of MIT's scientific prowess. Grab a MIT logo T-shirt at the souvenir shop, and be sure to get the official version, so you can look like a real MIT. Just a quick chuckle.

The dream of MIT science and engineering men, come here for a pilgrimage

MIT is open, without doors, but you can feel the scholarly atmosphere as soon as you enter. The school buildings are very modern and beautiful. There is also a lawn in front where people can sit and discuss or take a quiet rest.

Leaving Harvard, take one stop to MIT, and you will find that MIT is much more diverse.

For example, MIT only has Man and A Man, so Woman doesn’t need to come.

MIT is a science-based university, so its architecture is a bit peculiar, but it doesn't have as long a history as Harvard, and the environment isn't as good as Harvard. Harvard is surrounded by green trees, but this place seems to have no trees at all. Fortunately, we took a car tour, otherwise we would have been sunburned.

MIT has a different feeling. It feels more rigorous and more scientific.

The most famous is the building designed by I.M. Pei

It is a famous university of science and technology

Boston was the most beautiful city I visited during my trip to the United States. It was early autumn, with maple leaves scattered across the town, and many students were running.

Gives a feeling of tranquility and vitality

Be sure to take a photo in front of MIT's sponge dormitory building

The difference between this university and my university is like heaven and earth. The area is incomparable. Although I love my university very much...

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)

Americans are a bit "slow-witted". Such a good school is called a "college"! The tour guide said, "They won't let you in because of the noise. Why don't you go across the street?"

We who were “at the back” saw that there was no “security” and went in; (we went in anyway)

Even if there are security guards, they will generally let you in after a few words: it’s not easy to come here from tens of thousands of miles, we are all human beings;

Although MIT and Harvard are neighbors, their styles are distinct. Harvard, steeped in history, exudes a sense of simplicity and nobility, imbued with a humanistic spirit. MIT, on the other hand, embodies the style of a typical science and engineering school. Some of its buildings embody a modern aesthetic, with distinct lines and a strong, sharp character.

MIT's main attractions are its twisted Stata Building and the majestic Great Dome. MIT is much more accessible than Harvard, with all buildings open to the public, making bathroom access convenient.

It takes about 15-20 minutes to get from Harvard to MIT by bus. If you have enough time and the weather is good, you can actually consider walking.

If Harvard gives me the impression that the boundaries of the school are not clear, then MIT has even less boundaries. When you get off the bus and look around, you will find it is a comprehensive community.

As expected of a polytechnic school, the maps are very well made. You can get a map when you enter the campus and tour the school by yourself. The school also has students who volunteer to give tours, and tourists can follow them, but we decided to look around on our own!

You have to pay attention to the parking time while visiting, but fortunately, you can finish the tour in about an hour! The design of some buildings is really unique!

Compared to Chinese universities, MIT isn't very large. Inside, you'll find labs of all sizes. Walking through this world's finest university for science and engineering, I'm filled with so much thought and excitement.

My sister's alma mater was shown to me by someone who was more capable than a tour guide, so I was able to see it in more detail and understand it better.

Boston is home to many prestigious universities, and MIT's campus is nestled along the Boston River. The view from across the river is quite pleasant. Entering from the main entrance on Massachusetts Avenue, you'll walk through a long corridor lined with the university's laboratories, classrooms, and offices, all open to visitors. The campus is a truly open space. In the middle of the corridor is Memory Hall, a memorial to MIT alumni who died in World War I and World War II. Tip: A staircase at the end of the corridor leads to a student lounge on the second floor, where you can enjoy free self-service coffee and milk tea.

A must-see for any university in the world! MIT, in particular, has a view of the Charles River that is simply stunning!

MIT undeniably expresses the simplicity and abstraction, the two-dimensional and three-dimensional, of science and engineering in its architecture. It's as if everything here, along with the rich academic and scientific atmosphere of the campus, can suddenly burst forth with great creativity after a long period of boredom.

Compared to Harvard, MIT has a much shorter history, and its entire campus is completely open and wall-less. It wasn't until I reached the stainless steel "MIT" in front of the famous irregular building that I realized I was on MIT's campus.

Looking around here, 70% of the students are Asian. My colleague graduated here and she said that there are more and more Asian students here, and they are becoming more and more outstanding. Many American students are not willing to study engineering and technology subjects anymore.
