<p>Like, their professors don't really care about Undergrads, and how all focus is put on the Graduates....</p>
<p>How true are these things I've been hearing?</p>
<p>Well, I would assume that it's true to a certain extent.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that the professors either wouldn't be teaching undergrads if they didn't care about them at all (unless the school has a policy that every prof. must teach undergrads or they were the ones stuck with teaching undergrads).</p>
<p>If you haven't already done so, you should post this thread on the MIT forum and see what they say.</p>
<p>Check out Harvey Mudd.</p>
<p>I have not found that to be true in my four years at MIT.</p>
<p>If anything, undergraduates are treated like graduate students -- we are given a great deal of freedom both in our research projects and in our coursework to do graduate-level work.</p>
<p>I am kind of puzzled as to where this "graduate students get all the attention" rumor comes from. There's enough professor attention for everyone at a school with 1000 faculty members and 4000 undergraduates.</p>

<p>Are you talking about Berkeley?</p>
<p>No, I don't think MIT is bad for undergrad...unless you are really pretty weak in the math and sciences (in which case how were you admitted in the first place??). I think it has great student support, a lot of resources, and you can even take classes at Harvard through cross-reg (although I hear it's not too easy) so that makes MIT even more resourceful.</p>
<p>Then again I've heard horror stories of people pulling an all-nighter every other night or people nearly flunking out of MIT..although I'm sure that's in the minority.</p>
<p>MIT may not be a Princeton or a Dartmouth.. but it definitely pays attention to undergrads. I've heard that 80% of MIT undergrads do actual research before they graduate... now I think that helps make a pretty good undergrad education!</p>
