    I absolutely fell in love with MIT the very first time I set foot on the campus, and I like the way this video captures the beauty of the institution (though nothing beats seeing it with your own eyes). As for everyone who has been wondering what the music was, the piece is Lanz: East of the Moon by David Lanz and Miles Bould.

    I last watched this video in 2018 when I was in 11th grade, dreaming of studying Aerospace Engineering at MIT. I fell in love with this song and I would study all night with it for most time even in the following years in my A levels. It reminds me of just how much I passionately dreamt of studying at MIT/in the US generally. I have spent time looking for this song instead of starting to study, and I am happy I have finally found it! For a long time, I had convinced myself maybe it was deleted, but I knew its a very old video and I needed it for the song in the background.
    Fast - forward, I am now a Computer Science major and studying in the US, not MIT though. I am happy!

      Good to hear from you. Am glad that all has worked out well with your chosen field - you just can't go wrong with Computer Science! Best of all, you are happy, something that is hugely important. Thanks for letting me know that you watched my video and liked the music selection.

    You are in for a terrific trip. All the more if you like walking. When in Boston, you might want to see Beacon Hill. From there you can take the Harvard Bridge over the river; it comes in at the MIT campus. Both Harvard and MIT are in Cambridge.

    I guess these buildings didn't speak to you as they did to me. The idea of an auditorium dome as huge as the one at MIT resting on three points is something I find amazing. It was built at the same time as the nearby Chapel (also designed by Saarinen) so they are seen as almost two pieces of one project. The auditorium also compliments Rogers Hall; it also has a dome. With Simmons Hall, maybe the colors look better in person....it is such a HUGE building; it almost demands to be seen in person.

    Response to Wanda, Campus Regulations, (1)
    I'm not quite sure here, but the first locks were secured after dinner (say 7 - 8pm; the main exterior doors), with the final locks a little before midnight (some interior hallways; connections to adjacent Dorms). This allowed easy access to all Lehigh personal, of various dorms. Indeed, I would often travel to other Dorm's lounges in order to watch a different TV program.
    I loved the openness and trust that then existed.

    @bvcx8765432 I don't understand - what do you mean? The landscape and sculptures are on campus and seen by the students attending MIT; the wonderfully designed buildings are all used by students.

  • @wworldp
    @wworldp  11 років тому

    It may be difficult to see the inside since Simmons is a dorm. Even if you go on the MIT campus tour, they will not take you to the building, let alone inside. I managed to see the public area but not any of the rooms.

  • @JohnGLewis1964
    @JohnGLewis1964 11 років тому

    Yes... lockdown. Now this is really standard in all campuses. Unbelievably, in the early 1980's, if I recollect accurately, most exterior doors on Dormitories, were kept unlocked until a certain time of the day, until a more general lockdown at 11:30pm, with interior and exterior doors being locked.
    Now, besides a 24 hr. lockdown, there is no doubt sirens, and film cameras in various places.

  • @wworldp
    @wworldp  13 років тому

    @dunsacc From the MIT web site: Standardized tests are not the only factor, or even the most important factor.
    We review all of your academic information - grades, scores, classes, etc - to ensure that you are prepared for MIT. In part because of the strength of our applicant pool, the majority of our applicants are very well prepared to succeed at MIT.

      +Nunuh Nugraha Good - I would like to know how all turns out. Having your MIT goal puts you well on your way to achieving it. I have positive feelings about your country and its people. Last year I visited the Indonesian Embassy in Washington, D. C. It is housed in beautiful historic mansion. While there I and others were taught to play local instruments and participated in a music performance. That was fun despite my inability to master the technique. The people at the Embassy were very friendly and welcoming. Still have fond memories of being there.

    What happened in '86 was a remarkable, very great, very painful, event. No one loves a police state, though, right....? Except the people running it, I presume....
    Yes, I plan to visit MIT. The main domed building [the library, I guess], and Simmons Hall are the two key Buildings on my list. It will be interesting to see how far I will get.
    I've been to Lehigh recently, and they are a reasonably open campus, still, considering everything.

    Thank you Wanda, this was a wonderful tour! Yes, I would have to say that MIT stands in the forefront of American schools, considering their campus. But I have two objections: one the major, the other the minor. The first: from what I could see, I don't believe that Saarinen's ridiculous auditorium goes with the rest of the campus. It is not attractive in itself, and it is inconsistent. The latter, the lesser: I thought, though that Simmons Hall was intriguing, the colours were wrong.

    Matters have changed, now, of course, and quite marketably. It really is a pity, but the public, we, have brought it down on ourselves. You know, my Alma Mater, Lehigh, was coincidentally, and unfortunately, instrumental in the change to heightened security, what with the Clery incident...
    Was Lehigh at fault? You know... I believe they were quite possibly responsible, but I'm not sure they were *at fault*.

    No...I rather liked Simmons Hall. My objection to the auditorium was that it was largely glass and Iron... which contrasts it to almost every other building on the beautiful campus.
    I would say that MIT might be our lead school here in the states, surpassing Harvard, Cal Tech, Yale, Stanford, and all the rest. I think Harvard may be a second... not so much because of the campus (a neg. if anything), but the academic life. I dislike the fact Yale req. a foregn language prof. to graduate!

    • @wworldp
      @wworldp  8 років тому

      You might want to go on the MIT web site to get an idea of what they are looking for. Here is a bit of what you would find:
      A strong academic foundation in high school both improves your odds of getting into MIT and will help you make the most of the Institute when you're here. We recommend (please note that these are not "requirements") that your high school years include the following:
      One year of high school physics
      One year of high school chemistry
      One year of high school biology
      Math, through calculus
      Two years of a foreign language
      Four years of English
      Two years of history and/or social sciences

    • @jharna7618
      @jharna7618 8 років тому

Hope you would help me .........In our country they either teach physics and chemistry or biology and chemistry in high school ( grade 11 and 12) according to their interest. History /social studies of which country?

    • @wworldp
      @wworldp  8 років тому

      Perhaps someone else may jump in to respond to your question. MIT has a large international student population so they are aware of educational differences. They are not rigid with requirements as this statement of theirs indicates: "We do not have any required high school classes for domestic or international students." Am sure they are looking for students that have attained academic success and have taken challenging courses. MIT also gives lots of guidelines for admission seeking students - all available at ones finger tips by searching for appropriate topics such as MIT admissions or international student admission.

    • @lalyg8865
      @lalyg8865 10 років тому +7

      As far as I know, admissions at MIT are need-blind. That means that the admissions department, when reviewing your application, is not going to take into account if you have or don't have money to pay for school. If you get accepted and your parents make less than $75k/year you should apply for financial aid and they will give you the money you need for tuition and expenses per year. Now, you say that you are not from the US. Well, for american people admissions at MIT are competitive, but for international students they are even more competitive. They cannot accept more than 150 international students (out of more than 3-4 thousand applications) per year, so if you want a spot in this amazing school you have to make sure to do well on your SATs, have really good extracurriculars and show the passion you have or obstacles you had to overcome in your life. You have to make them like you. It's not impossible, people do it every year, but it is definitely not easy. Good luck!

      There are plenty of financial aid options available to you. Just search for MIT Financial Aid. 😄

    I attended the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT), which, compared to MIT, was (and is) a joke.
