I'm not saying that MIT is perfect and I get that college kids want to blow off steam. I used to blow off steam. I returned to MIT frequently, and we had our share of drunken fun. Yet destroying buildings and acting like thugs was never part of the program. Actually, a lot of people I met were oddly proud of spending the night in the library from time to time.
MIT may be better overall, but a school that annually celebrates dropping a piano out of a tall building also has room for improvement
