Our first priority is to house all fully-registered graduate students. If there is space remaining in the single graduate residence halls we will then make Visitor assignments to non-student MIT affiliates as well as 9th term undergraduates. Unfortunately, there is no on-campus family housing available to visitors. The demand among our students is extremely high, leaving no apartments to make available to others. Visitors coming to MIT with a spouse and/or children should contact the MIT Off-Campus Housing Office (http://web.mit.edu/housing/och/index.html, 617-253-1493). To be eligible for a Visitor assignment, you must be affiliated with MIT in an official capacity. All visitors are required to provide documentation verifying their affiliation. Examples of visitors are cross-registered, special, and visiting students, postdocs, and visiting professors, researchers, and lecturers. If you meet the above requirements and need housing beginning in Fall 2008, you are eligible to apply to the Fall Visitor Waiting List. The waiting list will open on June 30, 2008. Beginning June 30, applications will be available on the Graduate Housing website at http://web.mit.edu/housing/grad/. All visitor assignments expire on August 15th of the year in which you are assigned. If you need housing beyond August 15th, you will need to apply to another waiting list in the summer and it is very difficult for visitors to get housing at that time. The opening of the waiting list for Fall 2008 assignments is June 30. Priority will be given to visitors who are able to fulfill the entire term iof the assignment. Your chances for an assignment decrease if you will not need your assignment through the spring of 2009. Room-Type Options / Availability Because our first priority is to house fully-registered graduate students, it is nearly impossible for visitors to be assigned to efficiencies or 1-bedroom apartments, our most popular living options. If these are the only types of assignments you are interested in, it is highly unlikely that you will receive an assignment. Most of our visitors are assigned to shared apartment accommodations in Tang or Sidney-Pacific. Sometimes we are able to assign visitors to our other options as well, so feel free to apply for them. Details on all of the graduate residence halls, including rents and floorplans, can be found at http://web.mit.edu/housing/grad/residences.html. Unfortunately, there is no on-campus family housing available to visitors. The demand among our students is extremely high, leaving no apartments to make available to others. Visitors coming to MIT with a spouse and/or children should contact the MIT Off-Campus Housing Office (http://web.mit.edu/housing/och/index.html, 617-253-1493). Terminating Assignment Before August 15th Visitors can sometimes terminate their assignments early, however there are strict procedures that must be followed to avoid extra charges. Terminating at the wrong time of year can cost you a lot of money! If you need housing on May 26th or later, you may sublicense a room on-campus from a current resident. Again, you must provide proof of MIT affiliation to the Graduate Housing Office, but details of the sublicense are arranged between you and the student. The sublicense period ends on September 8th. Visitors with families may sublicense family housing apartments in Eastgate and Westgate. Please note: Sublicensing is only permitted during the summer and IAP (January). It is strictly prohibited during the academic year. A listing of available sublicenses is posted at http://web.mit.edu/housing/grad/sublet/sublet-list.html. Efficiency apartments in The Warehouse (NW30) are also available for both single students and couples to rent on a Nightly, Weekly, or Monthly basis between June 15th and August 15th. For more information about Warehouse rates and accommodations, please send email to residence@mit.edu or call (617) 253-1530. Questions should be referred to: Graduate
