Another unusual aspect of the social scene is that there's a pretty pronounced split between "east campus" and "west campus". The personalities of the living communities are very different, allowing you to make a choice about the type of college experience you want to have - its almost as if they're two different colleges. The east campus culture is very well-developed; it's a great community, and a lot of fun. I don't know much about west campus.

校区场景另一个不同寻常的方面是校园被割裂为“东校区”和“西校区”，两者之间的个性完全不同，允许你选择哪个类型的学院。——那看起来几乎就像两个不同的学校。东校区的文化是完善的，多姿多彩而有趣的。西校区的风格我就不晓得了。

The best thing about MIT is it's collaborative atmosphere. There are thousands of students who spent all of high school striving to be the best at everything we did, and then we get to MIT and you just can't survive on your own.
NORA Freshman
麻省理工最好的一点在于它精诚合作的学术氛围.成千的高中生竭尽所能做到一切我们所能做到的一切挤破头来到这里,你单靠自己根本没办法立足的.
Nora 大一学生
MIT is a wild place with intense subcultures. The housing system is somewhat unique and results in strong dorm cultures. Through a prolonged lottery system, new students are given the opportunity to choose one of MIT's many dorms, live there temporarily during resident exploration period, and then opt to either stay or try to lottery into a preferred dorm.
ANNA Junior
麻省理工的亚文化自由繁衍,热情洋溢.校舍系统有些别致，衍生出强大的宿舍文化。通过随机抽签的系统，新学生可以从麻省理工很多宿舍里挑一个，在你不应期的时候即时住进去;然后选择是继续住还是尝试一下运气看能否抽到一个首选之所。
