<p>Definitely not. Though realize that a lot of MIT students have the same impression of CalTech - I’m sure it’s an inaccurate impression there too. MIT is great in that it’s big enough for you to find a place that suits you, but not so big that you’ll get lost in the crowd. Want to party every weekend? You can do that. Hate partying, but like hanging out at cool places? You can do that, too. You can do drama, poi/other juggling, ham radio, programming, sports, roleplaying - MIT has lots of activities, and I don’t know anyone who isn’t involved in at least one or two. (They probably exist, but I don’t think they’re common.)</p>
