I went to MIT for undergrad. When I was a senior in high school, I had the same hold up you did: "Will MIT neglect my humanities?" Short answer: no. MIT has a surprisingly strong humanities and arts department. All students are also required to take a wide range of different humanities (though no single class is required). I found the student body itself to be the best bulwark against intellectual and creative stagnation. The students there are self-motivated enough that they create culture and stimulate each other. Finally, students at this place put vehicles on top of buildings and do ninja art installations. None of your other choices can claim that. How well-rounded can they really be?
