      inclusive MIT Independent Living Group. Photo: A diverse group
      of 31 people, some wearing ET hoodies, pose for a photo on the stairs 
      of a yellow-shingled building. One person is wearing a tie-die t-shirt, 
      and another t-shirt features a very ET yellow duck toy. This is from a 
      retreat with both students and recent alums.

Welcome to ET!

ET is an independent living group for MIT students. Located in suburban Brookline, MA, ET is our home for college and it could be yours, too! We welcome all undergraduates and graduate students regardless of gender, race, nationality, or sexual orientation. Our recent members have included foreign exchange students, a native speaker of Indonesian, a course 22 major, and a resident of Wyoming. If you are reasonable, responsible, and like group living, you'll probably fit in here. If you're a bit on the quirky side, even better!

ET was something truly special. ET alums have stayed close in a way that is not true of people from many of the dorms. It is very rare, I think, for a 32-year-old to have so many friends that he sees regularly and frictionlessly, especially today, and I think it's entirely owed to the fact that I lived at ET when I did. I feel very blessed.

Two smiling people, one in a red fedora 
	and the other with bright purple and black hair, are back to back, each with their 
	hands together in the shape of a finger gun, pointing up, ready for action. Behind
	them is the fireplace in ET's Chapter Room.
Four people hug, three with glasses, 
	  smiling broadly facing the camera, their faces almost stacked on top of one 
	  other due to their different heights.

ET is a place where the silliest ideas can come to life. None of my housemates ever said "that's too weird". It was always "Sure, I'll run to the store to grab supplies" or "What if we took it even further?" For the first time I understood the joy of doing things in a large group of people where we build on each other's laughter and sense of fun.
