 | | In contrast to the centrally located subway stop outside Harvard University, the Kendall MBTA Red Line station is located quite inconveniently, on the far northeastern edge of the campus, made more inconvenient by the buildings between the campus and the station. |
 | | MIT was a charter member, with other major Boston universities, in the Lowell Institute Cooperative Broadcasting Council, founder of public radio and television station WGBH, whose studios were located on the current site of the Stratton Student Center (W20) until they burned down in a 1963 fire. |
 | | MIT maintains a strong rivalry with Harvard and other Ivy League schools which dates back to the earliest days of the Institute, when a merger of the two schools was frequently mooted and at one point officially agreed upon (ultimately cancelled after a faculty and alumni rebellion in opposition to the plan). |
