There's no better way to learn about MIT than by visiting the campus and exploring for yourself. In conjunction with student volunteer hosts, our office arranges overnight housing any Sunday through Thursday evening during the school year, except during MIT vacations, public holidays, and exam periods. We encourage all admitted students to visit during our annual Campus Preview Weekend in the spring. We'll place you in a dorm or in an independent living group with an assigned host.
Costs are minimal.
There is no charge for the housing, but depending on the living group, you may have to pay for meals. Your visit is freeform. Like real MIT students, it will be up to you to decide how to spend your time. Our office will provide you with some guidelines, including a class schedule and a list of suggested activities. The rest is up to you.
