Massachusetts Institute of Technology
- Off-Campus Housing

I Can't Really Say

There are very few undergraduates who choose to live in off-campus housing during their four years at MIT. Most people will live in dorms or fraternity/sorority houses, so I don't know much about living in apartments

Available but No Need

A lot of students live off campus in fraternities and/or sororities, but these houses are still owned and partially funded by MIT. MIT guarantees housing throughout your undergraduate education, so there's really no need to live off-camps, except during the summer. Also, the dorms are each unique, so you can live in one that feels more like an apartment (no dining hall and kitchens everywhere) or choose the typical dorm with a dining hall. Boston in general is expensive, so it's really not worth it.

Either a Greek House or a Really Expensive Apartment

Apartments near campus are really easy to find in Boston - they are all over the place. However, the better option for off campus housing is a frat or sorority. Apartments are really expensive and sometimes don't have certain amenities (like a washer and dryer).
