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.

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or life:
“But suppose, asks the student of the professor, we follow all your structural rules for writing, what about that “something else” that brings the book alive? What is the formula for that? The formula for that is not included in the curriculum.”
—Fannie Hurst (1889–1968)
“There is one great fact, characteristic of this our nineteenth century, a fact which no party dares deny. On the one hand, there have started into life industrial and scientific forces which no epoch of former human history had ever suspected. On the other hand, there exist symptoms of decay, far surpassing the horrors recorded of the latter times of the Roman empire. In our days everything seems pregnant with its contrary.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
