Despite the fact that it is MIT, I haven't met any laser aficionados (though I do know someone else who has a green laser and lives a floor above me). It's not very popular here. MIT is usually pretty liberal in terms of policies; some of the dorms allow you to even paint your room and knock down walls.
I'd like to get more people interested in this field over here.
And, rocketparrotlet, if you have any questions about student life here or anything, don't hesitate to ask.[/quote]
