and Independent Living Groups
Independent Living Groups
Independent Living Groups have been a part of MIT since the
early 1970’s. ILGs are small, independent houses at MIT
which focus on cooperative living. MIT has five ILGs, each of
which has a unique culture and lifestyle. Four are co-ed, and
one is all female. Each house is a closely-knit community in
which the members know each other well and work together to
maintain their house and their lifestyle. All five houses come
together to form the Living Group Council, or LGC.
There are many ways of participating and getting involved in
an ILG, even during your first year at MIT. Most houses have
non-residential options and programs, so you can participate
fully in social and group events before you become a residential
member. In addition, many houses have meal plans, where you
can regularly join the house for home-cooked meals.
