What is How to Get Around MIT?How to Get Around MIT (also known as HowToGAMIT) is a fully comprehensive, independent student-produced guide to MIT, Cambridge and Boston. It is designed to welcome all new members of the MIT community and to act as a reference book for those whom have been here a while. All incoming first year undergraduate students receive free copies of the book, as do most incoming graduate students and many staff and postdoctoral associates. HowToGAMIT is also sold at bookstores such as the Harvard/MIT Coop. It is one of the most-browsed publications produced at MIT. The book contains sections relating to emergency information, academics, life and culture at MIT, activities and facilities, and things to do around MIT and in the greater Boston area: shopping, sightseeing, restaurants and entertainment. It also contains indispensable advice on everything from how best to find an apartment in the area to what you should and shouldn't do if you're arrested. The representative giving you this sheet should be able to show you a copy of last year's edition to give you an idea of the quality and breadth of the publication.
Why advertise in HowToGAMIT?Simply put, HowToGAMIT offers the best advertising value at MIT. HowToGAMIT's main audience is the optimal demographic for you: newcomers to the community who are looking for places to shop, eat and relax. HowToGAMIT offers you a unique chance to build consumer loyalty from the first arrival of over 3,000 new students. Our editors will place your ad in the section where it is most likely to attract the attention of readers looking for what you have to offer. HowToGAMIT is a treasured reference for most owners; many readers continue to use their books for their entire time at MIT or longer. Your ad will catch their attention multiple times as they flip through the Restaurants chapter looking for fresh place to eat on the weekend or as they check out the Hotels section to find their parents a place to stay over graduation. HowToGAMIT's full-page advertising rate is only slightly over half that of the most widely distributed student publication on campus, the student newspaper The Tech. Compare years worth of advertising to the two to three days of exposure you'd get in The Tech, and you'll see the value of advertising in HowToGAMIT.
