<p>@ClassicRockerDad- I understand the difficulty of the material and yes I can do the homework sets (about 10 hours a week) the sample tests (in time) and having little/no background before entering a lab is engineering standard. 3 tech classes and 1 humanities check. I don’t claim that the school I go to is as hard as MIT I am just saying that those at MIT have a significant amount of resources availiable to them to help them through. There are many places that do not have the tools that they do and due to that they IMO are much harder for students than MIT. (BTW I will take nothing from MIT for being a great school it is if not the best Engineering/Science school in the world close to the best. IMO it is just not the hardest).</p>
