What are my housing options at MIT Sloan?
Most MIT Sloan students choose to live off campus. The MIT Off-Campus Housing Office is an excellent resource for locating possibilities close to the campus and near the public transportation system. You can find other tips and support through MIT Spouses & Partners and Significant Others of Sloan (SOS). On-campus housing is available, but demand exceeds supply, so both the single student and married student housing units are allocated by lottery. If you’re interested in having a roommate either on-campus or off, you can search via the various online networks students have established; Craigslist online classifieds can be helpful, too. If you will be living on campus, you can also trust the lottery system to match you up with someone interesting. But wherever you decide to live, it can be a real advantage to have a good number of fellow Sloanies nearby, for everything from regular study sessions and joint projects to late-night book-borrowing and spontaneous barbeques.
