MIT Orientation 2021

Your residence hall will be a major part of your first year at MIT. You've already received your temporary housing assignment following the summer housing lottery. During Orientation, you'll get several days to explore and experience the different residence halls through Residence Exploration (REX). You should know that if you'd like, you can still enter a lottery to change your residence hall! If during REX you decide that you're interested in living in a different community from the one you were assigned to, the First Year Residence Exchange (FYRE), provides an opportunity to switch residence halls. To enter FYRE, fill out the application via Student Web (http://myhousing.mit.edu). Deadline to request a switch is Wednesday, Sept 1, 2021 at 2:00am.
