The only person I've known that went to MIT was my U.S. Foreign Policy professor when I was an undergrad. He was a terrible teacher, he made us by his stupid book that he wrote that was not helpful in the least, and I was ceasely frustrated with the meaninglessness of the class discussions. Of course, the inexplicable thing is that he got his degree from MIT in Physics and then later got other degrees in Political Science.
His bio
This probably isn't much help at all... since I'm from Oregon it is a surprise that I know anyone that went to MIT.
