It was really nice to be able to go inside the buildings and seeing labs. The MIT culture is big on knowledge and the hacks parts was very funny.

Everything was informative and interesting! I like the idea that exactly the students of the collage do the guiding, because they knows the whole kitchen from insider. I am very appreciative that we saw laboratories and even some class from the window, but it means it really does so! The college for a talented and highly motivated persons!

I liked that we were able to go inside the building. Unfortunately a lot of rooms were occupied so we couldnt see them. The guide Austin was very nice and had many information.
