<p>Oh, so you consider it ‘trouble’, do you? Because I never said it was any trouble. It doesn’t take any bravery at all for anyone to anonymously say over the Internet that they love MIT. And generalize/make uninformed comments much?</p>
<p>You don’t know what it’s like at Imperial. I didn’t know what to expect last year, and since you have never been here, I don’t expect you to know anything either. Do you know that every single year at Imperial, we have projects which most MIT undergrads don’t even think about through their 4 years? First year is a 2ft x 1ft aluminum truss that can hold up a car without breaking. Second year is a wind turbine. Third year is a revolutionary aircraft concept. Fourth year is research in industry for 2 months.</p>
<p>Actually, at Imperial, we don’t have a single textbook. There are no reading lists for engineering courses. You should only consider supplementary material/consult the internet if you don’t understand something. This is more than I can say for ANY American college, MIT included, which dumps at LEAST $1,000 of college books on you each year. So, if you hate countless textbooks so much, MIT is the wrong place to be headed. Oh, and by the way, if you were really a research-oriented person, you would be doing research wherever you are, not bleating on and on about how MIT is the only place in the world where you can possibly research. Good day to you, sir.</p>
