Massachusetts Institute of Technology Reviews

"Good reputation, strong network. The academics are geared more towards those with significant business experience already (as are most MBA programs), so it can be an extra workload for career switchers."

"MIT Sloan's relevancy in today's world of entrepreneurship, technology, and analytics in extremely compelling. The school has extremely strong global brand recognition and also allows it students the flexibility to do nearly whatever they desire to pursue. The diversity - both from a student body and experiential perspective - has been extremely rewarding. Socially, the school is a blast with immediate access to Boston a major plus. MIT is somewhat misunderstood from the standpoint of prospective students - the business school brand is not well defined, likely a symptom of its less than stellar Administrative capacity/organization. Overall, MIT Sloan is a fabulous program, best suited for people who like to explore outside the box, drive their own careers, and be surrounded by the thriving start-up/tech/Boston community.Read Less"

"It's a very challenging MBA program academically compared to most schools. It has a lot of focus on entrepreneurship."

"Excellent faculty and classmates. Excellent job placement. Very glad I chose MIT Sloan."

"Great place to study with brilliant and enthusiastic people."

"Great school - reputation, brand, networks. Diverse network of people, extremely collaborative and supportive, willing to go out of their way to help. Areas of improvement include facilities and methods of communication to students."

"The environment at MIT is very intense and competitive but truly creates great opportunities for success by also being stimulating and challenging. Industrial and academic relations are excellent. Quality of education is definitely very high and even though the workload can be quite high, the overall satisfaction, feeling of accomplishment, and the new opportunities coming with an MIT degree justify the difficult moments along the way."

"The shuttles are not going everywhere and the workload is too high. But the quality is excellent."

"MIT is a great place to be a graduate student-- but it's certainly hard."

"The cons are affordability of living, school use of technology, social life, transportation and financial aid for international students."

"While the academics and research make MIT stand out, the lack of a campus feel and the absolutely atrocious selection of dining on campus and in the area is very disheartening."

"The resources available and intellectual environment are fantastic."

"The graduate program is amazing. But especially the networking at MIT is great, there are so many activities organized and you are really helped networking and searching for jobs. Method of teaching is different and really motivating. And all students try to achieve the best!"

"The college provides a lot of exceptional opportunities, and many of the courses are challenging, relevant, and current. The other students are great to work with. However, the financial aid department is very poorly organized and the process is not clear, the faculty and some graduate students are sexist at times, and although there is an effort to provide support for students facing difficulties, many students are not reached."

"MIT Sloan is a truly life-changing MBA program that is rich with resources for enabling both personal and professional growth."

"Very tight-knit community. Passionate people."

"Boston is a tough and expensive place to live, but attending MIT makes up for all of the cons. Amazing school in a great location with attentive and helpful faculty and a group of smart students who want to see their classmates succeed."

"Pros - it's an academically rigorous program which enables students to grow in multiple facets of their professional life. Cons - it's expensive (tuition + living expenses) but it's definitely worthwhile for the experience."

"Sloan has been one of the best experiences professionally and personally for me. The community is intellectually curious and welcomes new ways of thinking. Sloan is also a great place for women looking to experience a full-time MBA program. The academic experience balances challenging curriculum with a supportive environment."

"Emphasis on team work prepares for the real world"
