Enjoying a well-earned reputation as perhaps the most prestigious institution specializing in math and science in the United States, MIT has been a pioneering force in a multitude of fields since its founding in 1861. The university’s alumni have collectively been responsible for some of the most groundbreaking developments of the 20th century, from computer technology to astrophysics to defense research, and the institute continues to challenge some of the world’s greatest minds to reach their fullest potential. Along with its equally-revered Cambridge neighbor Harvard, MIT forms a cornerstone of the Boston area’s brain trust of peerless higher-learning institutions.
While most students and faculty at MIT are famous for their industrious habits keeping them on-campus, the surrounding Boston community offers a wealth of terrific options for spending any valuable free time. The campus on the Charles River is only a short walk or ride away from some of the historic city’s most beloved attractions: a short hop across the Harvard Bridge will take you to Fenway Park and Back Bay, while the Longfellow Bridge will take you directly to Beacon Hill, Boston Common, and the North End. Virtually anywhere you go within these areas is jam-packed with historic architecture, stellar restaurants, and bars to suit any taste; with the added convenience of MBTA service, the entire region is at your fingertips even if you don’t want to drive anywhere.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
