The Massachusetts Institute of Technology encompasses 168 acres along the Charles River, with a combination of historic and modern buildings housing research facilities.

Founded in 1861 by William Barton Rogers, MIT established its current Cambridge campus in 1916, moving from the original Boston Back Bay location.

MIT students participate in scientific competitions, robotics projects, and entrepreneurial activities through numerous laboratories and research centers across the campus.

The institution provides 11,000 student positions yearly through its departments, with applications evaluated based on academic records and personal interviews.
