Welcome to the DormCon REX webpage!

REX (Residence Exploration) is an exciting and fun time devoted to helping you find the best place for you to live while at MIT. Take a look at the calendar for the schedule of REX events and activities. We strongly encourage you use these opportunities to see as many dorms as possible once you have arrived on campus. If you've got any questions about REX or the housing selection process, looks for one of us around campus, or e-mail us and we'll do our best to get back to you quickly: dormcon@mit.edu
