Welcome to MIT's Undergraduate Residential Experience

Each of our residence halls has their own unique community and choosing where you’d like to live is one of the most important decisions you'll make during your time here. We help students find a sense of belonging they’ll carry forward into lives of impact, engagement, and purposeful connection. 

Please take the time to explore each one of MIT's unique undergraduate residential communities. This website has been produced in conjunction with the students living within each community and is one of the best ways to get a full picture of what it's like to live on campus.
