Best Tour ever - Our sophomore student guide on October 14th, 2023 was an expert in everything MIT had to offer and any extra fun facts. She knew the ways to show us around and was knowledgeable about every opportunity or extra activity that happens at MIT. Showed us the impact that this school had on her life. Very informative and an experience of an life time. Would recommend highly!!
