Student Life
“If you want to change the world, make yourself at home at MIT.”
Far more than an amalgam of bedrooms, study rooms, and activity spaces, these living communities are stimulating and familiar places where students return to unwind, to process what they’ve learned, and to share it with their peers. Such vibrant living spaces offer graduate students and undergraduates opportunities for growth and engagement available nowhere else on campus. These crucial “other classroom” experiences enable residents to get to know other students as well as faculty and staff from a range of disciplines and backgrounds; and they help them learn to lead, through residence hall governance and in building community.
