<p>I know they are both quite highly regarded. I do like building things hands on etc. which is why MIT is appealing, but I also like good weather skateboarding chillaxin and all that other cali stuff (hey i grew up here!) i'm a bit afraid of MIT's "pressure cooker" atmosphere while Stanford seems a lot more easy going. But then also MIT has a much older campus, close to a cool city ( Boston and the whole college area harvard, Boston U etc. etc..)
so where should i go, and what are the differences in teaching , research , how much hands on stuff etc.
It is really equal right now I have no idea which one I want to choose, i'm going to CPW for both of the to get a better feel. but mainly I want to know about the programs and oppurtunities not people/social aspects because those I want to judge for myself AT the campuses.</p>
<p>Your decision should be based on your feel about people/social aspects and general "fit". The programs will be great at both schools.</p>
<p>yeah but i want to know like how hands on each of the programs are, what are the differences</p>
<p>go to mit so i can get into stanford from the waiting list. ;)</p>
<p>haha... we'll see about that</p>
