<p>I had the same thought when I saw MIT and Brown at the top of the list. While I can’t speak from personal experience with Brown, I graduated from MIT and it is very techy. Buildings don’t have names, they have numbers. Classes don’t have names, they have numbers (with the exception of the core Aero/Astro class which is known as “Unified” and is feared by all). Majors don’t even have names, they have numbers. All pranks (“hacks”) pulled are techy in nature. Students find engineering solutions to problems in the dorms. If you don’t want a strong techy feel, MIT is not the place to be.</p>
