Hi to all other prospective M. Arch I's!

I applied to Yale YSOA, GSD, Columbia GSAPP, MIT, and University of Michigan Taubman. I was accepted to Yale, MIT, and Taubman, and waitlisted at GSAPP, and received by far the most merit scholarship funding from MIT.

If I don't get into Columbia, my top choices are Yale and MIT, but am having a lot of trouble finding information about MIT's program. Does anyone have a good sense about their pedagogy and program? Out of all the schools I applied to, they have by far the least info about the program.

I have a friend who is a first year at MIT, and she has actually made it sound very alternative, much more interested in questioning the role of the architect in society, etc, than I had imagined it to be. Does anyone else have any insights or places I can read more?

I went to a tiny liberal arts school that was all about questioning the status quo etc, and don't really want a reprise of that education. I'm looking for an education that gives me a strong foundation while also presenting multiple pedagogies and forms of practice.
