Why MIT?
  • I have always been drawn to interdisciplinary learning, especially the intersection of arts, technology, and sustainability. Instead of coming to college narrowed into one potential field, MIT offers me the opportunity to explore all my interests. After talking with current undergraduates and attending CPW, I met many like-minded peers who are equally passionate about STEM and the arts, and I fell in love with the collaborative, problem-solving culture.Â
