Name two things you like about MIT.

One of the best things about MIT is the diverse group of people who work here. MIT is filled with people with whom it has been a pleasure to interact and from whom I have learned so much. My second favorite thing about MIT is the tools for success that are made readily available. The on-site trainings and workshops, along with the tuition reimbursement, really have helped me to be successful.

My favorite spot on campus is the Student Center, because there is a variety of food and because the Post Office, Credit Union, and hair salon are all there, which makes running errands very convenient.
