Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
All MIT freshman undergraduate students (except a very small number who commute from Boston-area homes) are required to live in an MIT dormitory during their first year of study.  Each MIT dormitory has its own history, traditions, and student culture.  Both undergrad and grad dorms have a resident Housemaster, usually a member of the MIT faculty, living in a special apartment suite within the building.  Some of the larger dorms have multiple Housemasters, each responsible for a subsection of the building, and consulting together on building-wide issues.  Undergrad dorms are usually divided into suites or floors, and usually have a Graduate Resident Tutor (GRT), a grad student living among the undergrads who is supposed to help support student morale and group activities.McCormick Hall is a women-only dorm; all other dorms are coeducational. Eastgate and Westgate are designated for family housing, and all other dorms are reserved for single students.  However, many resident Housemasters live with their families in special apartment suites located within singles-only dorms.
In addition, a significant proportion of MIT undergraduate upperclassmen live in Fraternities, Sororities, and Independent Living Groups (FSILGs),  either on campus or nearby in Cambridge, Boston, or Brookline, Massachusetts.  
Lastly, undergrads after their first year, and grad students may live in apartments and houses in the Greater Boston housing market at large.
