<p>Ok. so the people at my school have etched in stone some i think false stereotypes about MIT, which is where I really want to go.
They say that MIT is a place full of people with no lives (social)
and they study hard and nothing else...</p>
<p>I went to the admissions session and I thought
that the life there is fun. (just the hacking culture alone.)</p>
<p>MIT students what do you say?</p>
<p>You can find any and every kind of person and social life here, including whatever stereotype you’re into if you’re into stereotypes. When I told friends from home about my dorm and social life they decided I live in a hippie commune.</p>
<p>It is definitely a lot of hard work, so there’s not as much time to have a social life as there is at less rigorous schools, but that doesn’t mean people don’t have fun.

<p>@lidusha: What’s your dorm? Starting this fall, I’m going to be '17, and that sounds awesome. 
PM me if you’d like, I don’t know if I have PM privileges yet.</p>

<p>Why yes, I do live in Random Hall.</p>
<p>There are a number of dorms here that resemble hippie communes. It just depends on what particular qualities of a hippie commune you want. CPW is a good time to figure that out.</p>

not to be creepy, but Random Hall is so AWESOME. It has so many cute cats and the dorm master is nice.</p>
<p>Yes, Random Hall is fantastic. I wish we had more cats though.</p>
