Fair call. MIT is known to be hard and I know nothing about it, so I'll defer to you on this one. I was just listing it on the roster of "demanding colleges". Evidently, MIT is in a league of its own when it comes to being demanding.
- stcredzero 18y agoFrom what I've heard, Caltech and Harvey-Mudd are in that league. Some from Caltech would tell you that it's higher there.
- nostrademons 18y agoI've heard Cornell and Swarthmore are too - those are other colleges with a "throw work at you until you break" reputation. And Harvard is if you want an A, but 80% of Harvard students get Bs anyway, so most figure they'll just settle for that and work about as hard as any other liberal arts college. Amherst was usually about 20-30 hours/week between classes and homework, except when I took Quantum Mechanics or OS Design, each of which required 20-30 hours/week by itself.
