Frequently Asked Questions

2. Do I have to be an MIT student?

   During the school year, MIT requires that everyone living here be part of the MIT community. That includes students, professors, staff, visiting researchers, or even recent alumni (this means anyone with an MIT ID card and an "@mit.edu" email address). During the summer months (June - August), we admit other current university students in the area.
