<p>oh great you’re back.</p>
<p>I’m happy to see you too, flutterfly_28.</p>
<p>Why can’t we all just be friends?</p>
<p>well well I haven’t read any posts from sakky on this board in a while. (although then again, there haven’t been any interesting discussions in a while either)</p>
<p>I’d take MIT over Berkeley. but then again, i’d take MIT than any school in the world.
MIT was my dream school when I was applying to college.</p>
<p>sakky, you have not discussed anything about the quality of EECS programs at both schools. All I heard from you is that MIT is more lenient, accommodating, and therefore, a more desirable school than Berkeley.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Why would I have? Nobody else - not the OP, nor those who revived the thread after its long dormancy - has brought it up. You’re the first and only person in this entire thread who has brought it up, and then you’re asking me why I didn’t bring it up? Am I responsible for bringing up every single possible issue that everybody could possibly be interested in?</p>
<p>But it’s understood that when you compare two schools, you also have to compare their academic quality. after all, they are academic institutions and they provide academic degrees.</p>
<p>But why does that mean Sakky needs to discuss EECS in particular?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>And that’s precisely what I did…regarding the dimensions by the OP and the poster who revived the thread. They brought up premed and the general undergrad research environment, and I engaged them on those specific topics. </p>
<p>As JBeak12345 asked, why would I discuss EECS in this particular thread? Nobody else has ever brought up EECS. What does that have to do with the topic at hand? Is it my duty to talk about every single major?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>If money, location, weather, student culture are not issues, then the decision is clearly MIT, because they have more accommodations for undergraduates, such as the grading options early on.</p>
<p>Frankly, if not, then you have to make a decision – you can definitely get trained just as well academically in both places, and Berkeley is flooded with scarily talented researchers in many fields. But you may find getting research easier at MIT, etc. MIT is not as crowded.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>LOL.</p>
<p>My apology, sakky. I was reading the same topic - with exactly the same thread title - over on the MIT site and I thought EECS was discussed there, and somehow I lost tract and posted my response on here. </p>
<p>Again, although what was already mentioned sounded very interesting (and informative), I would be more interested to find out about the quality of the programs at both schools, if I were to inquire about both schools.</p>
