<p>Okay so here's my perception of MIT:
Monday - friday: Study and work hard in school
Saturday - sunday: study and work hard in school. Is this how it is? I'm down with that but what do mit kids do for fun?</p>
<p>
Well, no, not generally. Even in my craziest semesters, I always took Friday and Saturday nights to hang out with my friends and have fun, whether that meant ordering a pizza and watching a DVD in the dorm, or going to a party, or going out into Boston. And even during the week, quite a bit of socializing got done while I “studied and worked hard in school” – most nights I’d do my problem sets while eating dinner and watching TV in the dorm lounge with my friends.</p>
<p>What people do for fun varies quite a bit across campus, and you can be fairly well assured that, whatever you like to do for fun, you will be able to find a group of people who also like to do that. </p>
<p>Regardless, though, everybody takes time off. MIT is a college, not a monastery – the goal is both to work hard and to have fun in the process.</p>
