Campus Life
MIT's student life is as diverse as its student body. The Office of the Dean for Student Life (DSL) is the foundation to MIT's support for student life and coordinates a variety of services and programs, such as undergraduate housing, student activities, athletics and recreation, and conflict resolution.
