<p>I have nothing to do with MIT but I think it’s central domed building is beautiful even if the rest of the campus isn’t.</p>
<p>And I think the Frank Gehry building is fascinating (even if it doesn’t work well, which it apparently doesn’t.)</p>
<p>As for defensiveness, it seems to be an occupational hazard of being a CC parent. I see a lot of us identifying with our kids’ colleges and defending them.</p>
<p>It may be defensive or it may just be that we are trying to debunk myths that prevail about a school that we now think we have “insider” information about.</p>
