I am assuming that you wish to know if the crowd at MIT is friendly. As a middle class student, even I was afraid of being left out while joining MIT. I feared that the students might have hierarchies of sorts, based on wealth and social status.
As an introvert, it was especially difficult for me to approach my batchmates. But the cultural diversity of my batch made me curious to know each one of the students.
To overcome my hesitation, I decided to go and talk to my batchmates during breaks. I admit that it's quite nerve wracking to approach a stranger and talk to them.
I was pleasantly surprised that everyone was very sweet and welcoming. None was rude or arrogant, instead, they were as willing as me to drive the conversation ahead. This gave me so much confidence that I kept increasing my network beyond my batch.
Earlier, I looked at people as mere strangers. Now I noticed how different each person was. Everyone had their own stories and passions.
Through my experience I wanted to tell you that you’ll meet some amazing people at MIT. Manipal Institute of Technology offers great exposure and personality development to its students. You won’t find groupism based on wealth. So, irrespective of your background, you’ll have a good time over here.
