Excellent school but racial discrimination on admission
By Thien N, From Houston, TX
My son went there and had a great experience. It costs too much for middle class family (we paid full tuition costs). The admission process is relying on too much quotas and racial discrimination on admission against Asian American kids. My son's friends didn't get accepted even though they had top notch resume. Most of them ended up in the top 10 universities anyway.

Becoming More Student Focused
By New Parent, From Santa Barbara, CA
My child attends and the school has an abundance of resources for the students. They also have so many "eyes" on each student with deans, proctors, advisors, peer mentors and great office hours of faculty that students have many avenues for getting advice and direction. There are so many opportunities for involvement and engagement in any area of study or community action or political action. Since virtually all students live on campus for all four years the campus appears to be fully alive, engaged and active. A good place to learn and spend your formative years.

Excellent institution, not just for the wealthy
By Eric, Class of 2021, From Cambridge, MA
I have had a great experience so far. The professors are awesome and actually excited to be teaching. Most are doing research in their fields at the school. TAs are all masters students or above. The financial aid makes this school accessible for everyone - they never turn away a student because of inability to pay. Advisors are very helpful to keep you on whatever tract you're majoring in. They actually listen to your wants and needs and help you create goals for yourself and they hold you accountable when you slip. Neighborhood is nice, can get loud around the square so it's better to find cafes further away to study at. Food on campus is good and there are cool restaurants and bars surrounding the campus. It's right at a subway stop so it's easy to take the T anywhere in the Boston area to explore.

Strongly recommend!
By Current Student, From Cambridge, Massachusetts
The opportunities are truly endless, and the campus culture is very positive and collaborative. Professors are at the top of their fields and you leave their lectures feeling engaged and enlightened. There's a very diverse and incredibly talented student population to inspire you and to keep yourself motivated and grounded.
