Enough MIT bashing!  Do you really think you'd be better off at
Prineton or Harvard?  Isn't it true that at Princeton if you don't
graduate in 4 years you never graduate?  

When you think about whether you should give money to MIT, figure
out if your MIT degree (or MIT Experience) helped you in the real world.
Then figure out if more money is going to make MIT a more pleasant place
for future students.  Then give the money.  If you are afraid that MIT
will spend it on something you don't like then specify that it be used
for a specific purpose (MITSFS, SIPB, Undergraduate Athletics, UROP,
Campus Residence Fund, whatever).  

Give money to help future students get the same quality (or better)
MIT degree that you did ...
