in the last 10 days I visited MIT (the groovy stata center building), umass amherst,
and cornell - on the whole, the umass and cornell locale's are nicely even if the buildings
are a bit less "interesting". talking to various PhD students at the three places, I found umass to be very friendly and collegiate, cornell to be ok, but a bit snooty, and mit to be somewhat disconnected (people seem to be in their own worlds) - i'll be happy to be back in cambridge, england in the noo yeah
