Second, the characteristics of MIT schools in the United States
1. Attaching great importance to natural science and engineering
Due to the concern about "human values and social goals", MIT attaches great importance to the teaching of natural science and engineering. The teaching quality of the natural science and engineering departments of MIT is very high, and the biology department is in a leading position in the field of medical technology. Pure science plays a secondary role in the fields of engineering and computer science. MIT's majors in electronic engineering and computer science are generally considered to be the best in the country.
2. humanized grading system
MIT grading system can help freshmen adapt to MIT in the first semester. The grades of freshmen are evaluated as P, D and F. Where P stands for C- or better grades, and D and F stand for not getting < P > credits. In the second semester, a, b and c will replace p. D and F also mean that they don't get credit, but they are only used internally. MIT students are trying to get credits. A student said, "At
MIT, students have a heavy workload." At the same time, the school will also provide psychological counseling.
3. A tense learning atmosphere
Here, traditional education methods are far from enough. MIT students are open-minded and quick-thinking, and full of enthusiasm for challenging their studies. Therefore, the professors here often say that "at MIT, no matter how good it is, it is not good enough". The intense study in the school is known as the "pressure cooker", and the freshmen only play "pass" or "fail" in the first semester, which is because the school tries its best to relieve the students' pressure. Students usually can only do two of the three S's: study (study), Sleep (sleep) and SocialActivities. If they can do three, they are called "superman". MIT students are famous for "reading regardless of time and sleeping regardless of space". It's hard to get in and out of the school, but the graduation rate is 92%.
Third, the cost of studying at MIT
1, tuition and miscellaneous fees
Taking the 2117-18 academic year as an example, all the regular tuition fees for undergraduate and postgraduate majors at MIT are $49,581. However, some postgraduate majors may have higher fees:
special students (students who have not registered for a degree major and attend courses for personal or professional purposes will be charged according to the academic tuition per unit);
Non-college visiting students need to pay the registration fee every semester when they register at MIT.
2. Students' living expenses
MIT collects this compulsory fee from all students, which is used to help activities devoted to improving students' quality of life, including student groups. The cost of living for MIT students in the 2117-18 academic year is $312.
3. Accommodation and food expenses
Accommodation and food expenses of students vary according to the place where students live and their dietary preferences. MIT charges for on-campus accommodation and meal plans. Information about accommodation options can be found on the MIT Accommodation Office website, and meal plans can be found on the MIT Catering Office website.
