A Day in the Life of an MIT Aerospace Engineering Student Ep. 2

In this video, I take you around on a typical Thursday, to show you what an actual day in the life of an MIT student is. I talk about research opportunities (UROPs), taking time to go to the gym, and how I navigate the giant workload, classes, and problem sets. I am an Aerospace Engineering undergraduate student, and I am also minoring in Entrepreneurship and Innovation, and Management. My humanities concentration is Economics. MIT is the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and is located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, which borders Boston.
All drone shots were taken on the DJI Mavic 2 Pro, and all TimeWarp shots were taken on the GoPro Hero 7.

It's amazing how stress levels vary from country to country My friends in Dubai and Qatar find 2-3 hours of classes per day stressful My friends in India and Japan find 7-8 hours of classes per day normal Only if we experience life in other's shoes, would appreciate the amount of time we have

[@YEMOGaming]

Megan Bailey in Morocco, 10 hours of classes is normal, we study like 8 hours in college and go for additional courses for 2 hours a minimum

[@miketruk7639]

depends on how hard the classes are ? ive had units with huge contact hours but theyre easier subjects, where as subjects with low contact hours require far more work. fuck off with these stupid subjective comments

[@kayaeki]

Ikr, my engineering class timings are 9 hours with 2 hours of travelling. It's hard to use some time for myself with all the assignments, projects, volunteering events and committee responsibilities

[@andrewpersaud4144]

@@kayaeki class is useless for engineering students. i wake up, go gym, study all day in my room. What am I going to learn travelling and sitting in class? By the time I get home all I'll want to do is shower eat and sleep. Won't even get to go to the gym either. Fuck that. Study from noon to 7 pm, take a 3 hour break, then study from 10 to 2 am. Wake up 8 am do it all again. you'll only find me in class if it's a quiz, midterm, exam or mandatory lab

[@roukozabboud1337]

[@chrislee367]

Usually I say to applicants: Most people, to graduate in four years, you'll do about 10 hours a day and totaling something like 50-60 hours a week in terms of lectures, medium-sized (30 +/- person) recitations, homework, papers, labs, etc. So you can divide that up however you see fit. A lot of people will try hard not to work on a Saturday morning and Sunday morning and Friday night (that's all doable). However you manage your day is up to you. Some semesters, it's more lectures; other semesters, more labs. Yet other semesters, it could be a team project.

[@ersonpertuz4238]

Amazing I am actually a student of mechatronic engineering, I suggest for your next video talk about the thematic and evaluations. Maybe look to us some of them. I would like to compare the difference of MIT syllabus to Colombia uniagustiniana, that is where I am studying. I am sorry for my English I hope you can understand. Thanks for the video.

Hey KJ!! I’ve always wanted to major in aerospace engineering and MIT has been on the top of my list for college.
