Student Life
MITES students live at Simmons Hall, on Vassar Street. Simmons Hall is an undergrad dorm designed in an unconventional style which resembles a giant Lego. They enjoy full use of the facilities at MIT such as the student center, the libraries, and the athletic facilities. Also, students get to know the cities of Boston and Cambridge.
The students also participate in activities such as a Fourth of July barbecue, a trip to Martha's Vineyard, a tour of Boston, a tour of the MIT Museum, a trip to labs in fields of vanguard research, a dinner with the Director of Admissions at MIT, a talent show, a college fair, a Dining Cruise, and a variety of speaker's luncheons with people such as the new Dean of Science at MIT and Eric Lander.
