<p>The sports facilities are superb. Details of the main ones are here: [MIT</a> - DAPER - Facilities](<a href=“http://web.mit.edu/athletics/www/facilities/index.html]MIT”>http://web.mit.edu/athletics/www/facilities/index.html).</p>
<p>As to the quality of the advising or the friendliness of the administration, the honest answer is that is varies significantly.
