My s always thought MIT was his "dream" school. He loved the research and creations that came out of their labs. He read about them all the time in Popular Science, or one of those magazines. He talked about MIT for years. Then when we went to visit it, he was sorely disappointed. He spent a full day with faculty, staff, in a class with really cool technology, inthe frats at nite, etc. He came away saying "MIT is for grad school- they don't really care about their undergrads here". He didn't even apply. So hang on... things change.</p>
