Housing

The UAAP will mail a packet to you that will include a letter from the MIT Undergraduate Housing Office explaining the housing selection process. You will then have the opportunity to fill out a Housing Request Form that needs to be submitted to Robin Baughman, Assistant Director of Housing (W59-200). If you need to contact Robin directly: (617) 258-5488 or rbaughman@mit.edu.

On-Campus Housing

For more information, please contact MIT Housing at residence@mit.edu, (617) 253-1493.

Off-Campus Housing

Boston, Cambridge, and surrounding communities are rich with diversity, intellectual and cultural opportunities.  Check out the MIT Off-Campus Housing website at http://web.mit.edu/housing/och/ to find information on short-term housing, apartments, realtors, rental fees, leases, etc. Access to this site requires valid MIT web certificates. For information on obtaining your certificates, please see http://web.mit.edu/ist/topics/certificates/.

NOTE: Housing availability in the city of Boston and surrounding areas is limited, so please do not wait until you arrive to begin your search.  If you prefer off-campus housing, we encourage you to begin your search ASAP. 

If you have any questions about off-campus housing, please contact the Off-Campus Housing Office at (617) 253-1493 or general@mit.edu.
