Favorite moment at MIT(CPW counts for freshman): The CPW during my freshman year...

For Non-Freshman:
Where did you live freshman year?: I lived in a quad in Baker. It was pretty awesome for freshman year but don't know if I'd want to do it for all four years.
What was your favorite class freshman year?: 8.01 (Mechanical Physics)
If you were to go through freshman year again, what would you do differently? what would you do the same?: I would go to more office hours and explore things that I might want to do later down the road. I didn't know exactly what I wanted to do for a career till after my sophomore summer, so it would be really helpful to explore some other options during IAP or try to get a UROP second semester in something that might be interesting to you. Just in general be more open to trying different stuff because it could be exactly what you want to do with your life. I would do most everything else to the same.
