About

MIT was founded in 1861 and sits on the Charles River in Cambridge, just across from Boston. It is known worldwide for engineering, computer science, physics and economics, and for a hands-on culture summed up in its motto, "mind and hand".

Undergraduates work in research labs from their first years, and the campus is surrounded by start-ups and tech companies. MIT meets the full demonstrated financial need of admitted undergraduates, including international students, so the sticker price is not what most families pay.
