MIT and UQ Students

[Eric A]

Hi guys.

I'm currently studying a bachelor of engineering at the University of Queensland here in Australia, and as the university offers an exchange program i'm thinking of taking advantage of it to study a semester at 'the best engineering school in the world', Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

So out of curiosity, has anyone studied at both these campus's and what did you think of them both?

You can view many of the MIT courses online for free to see what you are interested in learning.

Here's the playlists of the different courses:

I've taken a few of the computer science and math courses. They are excellent. They have lecture and recitation videos. Their site has a list of assignments, class handouts, projects, quizzes and tests too. Lots of great stuff if you are interested in learning on your own. Use the Chrome browser when viewing the lectures on youtube. That browser lets you watch the videos at 1.5 or 2 times the speed. Just hit the setting command to change the speed of the videos. Some lectures can be very slooooooooow, so changing the speed is very helpful.
