Guys I’m taking admission in MIT this year, do y’all suggest the girls hostel itself or should I book a pg outside?
I’ve heard people saying that the hostel is not all that and they prefer living outside
Hostel girlies I need your help asap💔
Intervieiwng for systems analyst role at MIT Lincoln Laboratory and have no idea what to expect. I am super nervous so I was wondering if anyone can help out please any advice would be great. Since I don’t have a lot of experience I am scared about technical questions that I won’t be able to answer!
The ITS Reconstruction Project took more than a decade - but recovering data from library tapes, and writing simulators for the original hardware allows you to have a VERY complete MIT AI Lab at home. Truly a labour of love, this: https://obsolescence.dev/its.html
Hi!
I'm an incoming student this fall and I have celiac disease, so I have to eat strictly gluten-free.
I'm trying to figure out whether the MIT dining plan is worth it for someone with celiac, or if I'd be better off cooking for myself most of the time.
How good are the dining halls at handling gluten-free meals and avoiding cross-contamination? Do you feel like there are enough safe options, or does it get repetitive?
If you decided not to get a dining plan, what did you do instead? Any recommendations for grocery stores, meal prep, or other good options around campus?
I'd really appreciate hearing about your experiences. Thanks!
Hello I’m going into my 2nd year undergrad at mit. I cant decide my major💀
If I decide to do 2-A-6 but I haven’t taken any 6 classes until next year (nope, not even 6.100a) am I cooked
pretty much the title. I am very much drawn to quantum computing, throughout my high school career, and now I am looking to see if there could be some meaningful ways at MIT to further extend and pursue this passion. I am aware that Quantum computing, given its depth of study and necessity of high level of expertise, is a kind of field where you only get to delve into it once you are a grad student or beyond, but I am so desperate in seeking some opportunities I could still tap into as an undergrad. I know MIT offers opportunities like UROP where I ultimately try to come up and design my own research, but I am looking to see if there is some other opportunities other than UROP, provided within MIT. Any particular group or professors may be I should consider touching base with?
I was very excited to get my card issued, waiting for the printer to print, and soon found this ugly card in front of me. I was expecting the beautiful blue hologram ID card… Did they change the design recently? What happened..?
My daughter is an incoming freshman and plans to live in a quad. Two of her roommates are moving in early as fall sport athletes. Since they will already be in the room, can my daughter start dropping her belongings off a day early or is she restricted to the official move in day (Aug 29)?
hi!!
has anyone taken MIT 6.3100?
Where can I find the board schematics on the class website ? If someone has them, please share..
Thank you!!
Hi all, im interning at MIT this summer. I was wondering if there are any clubs running over the summer where I can meet people and hopefully make some friends, if anyone knows any good places to do this, id appreciate that as well :).
I'm a software engineer and one of my major obsessions is lisp. So obviously I've been reading about MIT's strong lisp culture all my career. I mean I'm not sure right now, but historically. But is there still a remnant of something?
I'm thinking of visiting boston and I know schools like these have tours. Can I see the old lisp machines? Or is there some club that might appreciate a visit from an enthusiast with a cool lisp project?

Hey all, quick one, then back to lurking
I’ve been building Blip — basically the opposite of LinkedIn.
On LinkedIn, you can connect with 1,000 people and almost none of them ever reply.
Meanwhile, the person you'd actually want to meet is sitting three seats away on the Red Line every morning.
Blip turns the commute into the intro.
You see who's around (just role + company, no names), send a Blip, and if you both do, you can chat.
A connection only counts if an actual conversation happens.
Starting with the Red Line core:
Alewife → Davis → Porter → Harvard → Central → Kendall/MIT → Charles/MGH → Park Street → Downtown Crossing → South Station.
Looking for a few founding members to try it, break it, and give brutally honest feedback :
Blip - Network while you Commute
Also, if this sounds interesting and you'd want to help build it (iOS, design, growth, community, whatever you're great at),
DM me. Always excited to collaborate!
I've read this blog about it, but I'm still unsure how to assess the difficulty of an ASE and its worthiness of my time. What ASEs correlate directly towards the content/difficulty of which AP exams, which ASEs are good for olympiad-ers, etc?
Hello, I’ve recently been assigned to Maseeh Hall, and now I’m trying to buy stuff for my dorm. Are the heights of the bed adjustable? I recently bought a 24 1/2 inch (height) drawer for storage, but I’m not sure if it will fit under the bed. If someone could help me out, that would be greatly appreciated.
Also, if you have any other recommendations about what to buy specifically for Maseeh dorms, that would be great as well!
hello, I'm from the cornfields (U Illinois) I'm visiting mit tomorrow, are there any nice places / things to do which are interesting and worth visiting that aren't that well known?
Howdy! I’ll be going up to Boston early/mid-January next year to visit my partner and was thinking about stopping by MIT to look around while I’m there. I’m aware that there are public areas open to visitors, but I was wondering if there’s any possibility of touring specific labs, research spaces, or facilities.
I understand that most. if not all, academic buildings and labs are restricted to students, faculty, and authorized personnel, so I’m not expecting to just walk in and look around. I was mostly wondering whether MIT offers any formal lab/facility tours, whether I’d need to contact the lab director(s) or department(s) directly, or if there are any alternative ways to view these spaces.
From my understanding, 6-3 is predominantly CS but goes over hardware and low-level design. 6-5 just seems like the inverse where it’s predominantly EE but goes over some CS. Is this true? Is there a major that’s split between them both? How much hardware is covered in 6-3? And what about 6-5? Thank you!
Incoming freshman here! I know MIT is the best of the best for course 6 (more specifically 6-3) but I was wondering what placements were like after graduating. What percent would you estimate have a job lined up out of those who go straight from undergrad to the workforce? What percent is large/reputable companies (FAANG, big tech, etc,)? Just curious.
I’m considering switching from another facility, and I was wondering how crowded it gets. Any feedback or general call outs about the rec pool would be greatly appreciated!
