Must visit place when you come to MIT or Cambridge. Significant building, very impressive academic look and feel. Nice and clean everywhere. From here you can visit MIT store just about 100m to the design school with various souvenirs. Laying or Sitting on the grass, looking to the sky to feel like a MIT student :). Please look at the sentence on the ceiling to feel the spirit of this famous university. Wish all the people here health and prosperity
Beautiful place and building! It’s got a funny little few stories about it too, if you happen to visit MIT, definitely take a family photograph right in front of the Great Dome on the field! The infinite corridor is also a nice touch in the area. Good food court inside if you need a quick bite on your way.
Like everyone else I LOVED IT!
The Great Dome is the reading room of the Barker Engineering Library at MIT. It consists of individual study pods in rooms on the far perimeter of multiple floors, group spaces, individual study pods on the inside perimeter, walled off four person tables and four-person starfish-shaped couch chairs with rolling footsrools so each person is facing a different direction. You have to make sure your seat has a plug nearby. Not all do. All this is under a 27- foot wide skylight comprised of 1,042 glass bricks specially etched to increase light refraction. The skylight is at the top of a 100 foot dome. Its quiet there and, depending on room, it is available to the greater Cambridge community.
Great place to gather with family and friends.
A nice school with good aesthetics and a wonderful view from outside
The view of the inside of the dome is incredible. It would be a fantastic place to study.
Took a tour there with my family a month ago. Fun and informative. Ask any students there about the cop car on top of the dome! Lol
Its MIT. Its iconic, its renowned, and7 7, unlike some other Universities further west in this city, it actually is worth all the hype. This is where the Visitors Center and the first pile of maps and honestly Im pretty sure Admissions is right in this building too, I myself like to wander aimlessly and get scared by some of the names of the buildings, and the warning signs that dont have tell you the reason you should under no circumstances open this door while alarm is sounding, if you understand the mechanics and technology to understand what you just randomly happened across, you can get a good spook on for some inspiration for your next spec-fi (thats what nerds who are stickler for accuracy call sci-fi) work.
Its cool to see this interesting place in reality, but also a little of track for other touristy things. Probably its much nicer in spring or summer.
Most iconic spot on campus. Still looks good even in the wintertime.
Its my alma mater and was a great place to go in the sixties. The physical plant has changed a lot, and for the better. So has the student body, but it still seems to me to be a great place to go.
Great place to visit specially if you love MIT
Great campus! The center of excellence.
Incredible site.
Enjoy sunshine, breeze, grass, snow, blue sky, Boston skyline, and most importantly, the best photo-taking spot at MIT, the Great Dome. Please don’t say you’ve been to MIT without coming here!
It is a breath taking place
Visiting this place always inspires me. This dome has a great view from the charles river side than on mass avenue.
Great place to study!you can get inspiration and concentration ;)
Was at MIT for an alumni event, so naturally Google detected my presence under the Great Dome as I transited the Infinite Corridor ... and later as I walked past the Great Court on Mem Drive.
Lovely interior of the library, huge dome in library of Massachusetts institute of technology. Excellent for students to pursue higher studies.
It is really great
OMG!!! Huge and so pretty! Amazing!
The iconic MIT dome. Looks much bigger when we are near it. Large courtyard and large building surround it. The building are named after prominent scientists like Newton, Darwin etc. It is very close to the river, just cross the road and you get a beautiful view of river.
Quite lovely! And impressive to think of all the super geeks & their work there!
Amazing place :)
Love this place its my dream to study in MIT.
Great place to sit on the lawn, enjoying the good weather and views while reading a book.
A place where you visit to increase your rating
The MIT campus seems to have become more industrial than I remember from visits 40 years ago... But impressive. I didnt get to see it during the day.
Looks marvelous
The iconic Dome from MIT.
A great view from MIT onto the river. Looks lovely lit up at night. Impressive indoors too.
This place is beautiful, but remember its a library reading room. Students are at work here. Dont invade.
The Great Dome is beautiful
It is great and it is dome. 6/10 starrs
Here is the place where I dreamed to be one day. (July, 2019)
Beautiful
Very beautiful and the lawn was a vibrant green, but there were some ugly brown patches and mud that stuck to my shoe. Otherwise, great for photos!
Iconic symbol of MIT big brain.
The iconic MIT done is a must visit in Cambridge
One of the most picturesque view of MIT. It has become a famous tourist attractions. I saw a bunch of guys playing with their robots .
Gorgeous building!
Amazing to be among the worlds greatest engineering university.
Look beautiful and unique from afar. Unfortunately buildings around the dome make it difficult to see it when up close
The majesty of it was just inspiring-
Very nice park, youll have to go through the building to get there. Good view on Boston over the Charles River
So cool this place. Definitely would want to go to MIT!
Great landmark across the road from the river with city views.
Very interesting to compare the differences between Harvard and MIT. MIT facilities have a no frills appearance compared to Harvard buildings. Check it out
Amazing
Go up to the fifth floor library for an amazing view of the dome
Beautiful place!
The dome itself is not the attraction, but the building underneath it that houses a part of MIT. Great things happen in that venerable building.
MIT but only for the elite. If you are not dont apply
Peaceful atmosphere, great place to be inspired, study, write a novel, or be productive in general!
Nice location of excellent & Great institute
Absolutely gorgeous lobby to read history
One of the best University of the World.
Wow. Good view
It is rather scenic, the view is great up here.
The Great Dome is a great dome. I especially like its dome-like properties, such as being a dome
One of the cooler parts of the MIT campus. Not only is the architecture beautiful and kinda astounding but MIT students actually put things on the top of the building as hacks, legend says there was even once a cop car on top of the building
Great experience MITBootcamp
Nice to walk around the lawn outside, and the library with the inside view of the dome is worth it.
A must go place in MIT
Awesomeness for all nerds! One of my favorite spots in Boston.
It was cool to walk around the school.
I use this landmark as a rest stop on long walks. The bathrooms are always super clean!
The Hallowed Hall of Knowledge delivered, an more...very impressive place, alma mater of some of historys greats
Most famous building of MIT. A must for any visitors.
So awesome to get a personal tour by my niece of this great campus!
Beautiful place!!
Lovely view, great lawn, nice place to sit and relax o throw a frisbee.
One of two pretty places on MITs campus.
NO.1
Beautiful place to be in Boston.
Had seen it on television and loved it when saw it actually.
Good place to visit when you are visiting Boston downtown
Looks pretty nice
Historic & beautiful architecture
Wow! What a beauty... Esp when it snows
Neat history, cool picts of the outside. Not too much to see inside except for a huge extremely impressive dome.
Nice place to relax and study
Magic happens in these great halls. Your people call it science, my people know its one and the same - Thor
A man-made Dome under God-made Dome! Very impressive!
Beautiful. Nice area for relaxing.
