We got a very informative...

We got a very informative tour with our guide, Shaykh (sp?). It was so interesting to learn about MITs history and understand the culture. Shaykh gave us a great view of what being a student at MIT is like which is why we selected this student-lead tour. This is definitely worth doing!

Take the tour with Jake

Jake was a well prepared concise and clear guide. While the history of any school could be dull, Jake interjected several humorous stories regarding campus life that kept the tour light, fun, and informative. He answered the questions like a pro and seemed genuinely in love with sharing the successes of the school. The meeting place was well explained. The chairs a plus. I would highly recommend this tour with Jake.

Take this your!

Shaikh is an amazing guide. She walked us around campus and filled us in on everything from the history of MIT, student life, class load, and even some fun trivia. She was accommodating of ones in our group with ADA needs. 10/10. Would recommend.
