Study
You can take regular academic classes at MIT, but you will pay the same
price as an MIT student. You must apply at the Admissions Office as
a special student. A cheaper alternative is to audit a class. This means
you can attend the lectures, but you will not be responsible for homework
or exams, and you will not receive credit for the class. Contact the
professor of the course you are interested in directly.
You can also take more informal
classes at the Student Art Association (http://web.mit.edu/saa/) and Physical Education classes (http://web.mit.edu/athletics
