Dorms for Any Type of Person

Each dorm at MIT can be perfect for any type of person. MIT doesn't separate freshmen and upperclassmen in different dorms, and I think that's a great way to get freshman to know and talk to upperclassmen. Also, every dorm is different, so there are a few places each type of person can comfortably live at. Most dorms at MIT have hall and dorm culture, so everyone on a specific hall can be close to those people that they live next to or near each other. In my opinion, I think that is really cool, and something that I feel is a positive thing. But there are some dorms that don't strive to achieve that sort of close dorm culture. Anyways, because MIT does have greek life, some people can also move into their fraternity or sorority's house, though most of those are off-campus and take some time to commute to. I think the housing process is pretty great for freshman trying to find the best fit for themselves, but it can sort of be difficult for those people who want to move out of their current dorm, and are on the waitlist to a dorm that they really want to get into.
