Computer Science at MIT

<p>I'm currently trying to decide whether I'm going to Stanford or MIT. I plan on majoring in computer science. I've tried looking on MIT's website for information about the undergraduate program, (specifically Course 6-3), but aside from the curriculum (MIT</a> EECS - New Curriculum 6-3: Computer Science and Engineering), I haven't found much. What is it that makes MIT have such a strong CS program?</p>

<p>[MIT</a> Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory | CSAIL](<a href=“http://www.csail.mit.edu%5DMIT”>http://www.csail.mit.edu)
[Research</a> Laboratory of Electronics at MIT](<a href=“http://www.rle.mit.edu%5DResearch”>http://www.rle.mit.edu)</p>

<p>These are just two of the places that you could do undergraduate research. There are also a lot of cool projects in the Media Lab ([MIT</a> Media Lab](<a href=“http://www.media.mit.edu%5DMIT”>http://www.media.mit.edu)). I don’t really know how Stanford’s labs are organized, but all of these world-famous labs are also about a 5 minute walk from my dorm and have accepted first-semester freshmen as UROPs.</p>
