How's the social life at MIT?

<p>I'm applying to colleges this year and one of my main concerns about MIT is the social life.</p>

<p>I was wondering how it was over there. On collegeboard it also states that 55% of the students are men, and 45% are women. I was wondering if the higher amount of men is very noticeable. On top of this, I was wondering how you all would rate how good the women look :P.</p>

<p>I know, college is about education, and I'm planning on getting a very good education, but I also find it important to have a social life, make friends, etc. in college.</p>

The split isn’t really noticeable – I mean, that’s 11 men for every 9 women. Not a huge difference. I’m female, and I was never really aware that there was an imbalance.</p>

<p>

What I always say is that, no matter how good you look, there will be women at MIT who are way out of your league.</p>

<p>

Nobody would ever disagree with this, and MIT has a very vibrant and diverse social scene. Of course, some might ask what making friends has to do with how good the girls look.</p>
