10 reasons why MIT is beautiful

10 reasons why MIT is beautiful Sometimes MIT gets a bum rap for not having a pretty campus.  I disagree. Sure, we may not have brick buildings and ivy-covered walls.  But we have wacky (modern? postmodern?) buildings, the best river views in Cambridge, and a whole lot more. So without further ado, 10 reasons why MIT is beautiful: (1) Because I get to see this view every day walking home after class: (2) Because even the Infinite (Corridor) has an ending. (3) Because in between classes, I might eat lunch in Killian Court (4) or take a walk by the boathouse: (5) Id show you sailing photos, but Im not confident enough in my abilities to bring electronics on board.  So heres the boathouse from another angle: (6) Because sometimes you look up and nothing makes sense: (7) Because engineering can be colorful: ^from 2.008 Design and Manufacturing II.  Ill write about the final product soon! (8) Because we get cool toys to play with in class: ^a Form1+ we used in 2.008.  Yay MIT alum companies! (9) Because the Esplanade is only a short walk from campus: and finally (10) If youre ever lost in Boston, just look towards the water and youll see home: Fun fact: all of the photos in this post were taken with a compact camera that I carry in my pocket.  Im currently doing a 30-day photo challenge where I take at least one good photo a day.  Let me know in the comments if theres anything in particular that you want to see me shoot!
